Depending on which state you live in depends on alot. I know for the state of Oregon you have to get a lost title form signed by the person who has power of attorney over the estate.Then you must have a copy of the death certificate. A bill of sale form also makes things much easier.
I believe you can sell it if you are the beneficiary, or if you inherited the vehicle.
You open an estate. That is the purpose for the estate, to transfer property and resolve the debts of the deceased.
Most states have a procedure for a spouse or child to change the title of a deceased spouse or parent's motor vehicle to the survivor. This does not change the loan, however, if there is one on the vehicle. You may have to refinance.
That depends on which party died. If the person who died is the one who signed the title over, then the vehicle belongs to the brother. If the brother who received the signed title is the one who died, then the vehicle belongs to his heirs or estate.
Technically, no you cannot. The loan was to the deceased, not to you. You also have to change the title of the vehicle.
You have to find out who the executor of the estate is. They should be able to sell you the vehicle and sign the title over to you.
Take the title to your local dmv and tell them the circumstances. You will need to prove that the vehicle was left to you in a will, or you will need to show that you are the executor of estate.
If you and your deceased spouse were listed as "OR" on the title, it only takes on signature to release the title to the new owner. However, if the names were listed with "AND", then both signatures would be required. Since this is no longer physically possible, you need to take the title, along with the certificate of death, to the motor vehicle office and have your deceased spouses name removed from said title before you even attempt to sell or trade in this auto.
To change the vehicle title to a new owner in North Carolina, the executor of the estate of the deceased car owner needs to follow these steps: Obtain a certified copy of the death certificate of the deceased car owner. Complete the appropriate sections of the vehicle title, including the transfer of ownership section. Submit the completed title, along with the certified copy of the death certificate, to the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for processing. Pay any necessary fees and taxes required by the DMV. Once the transfer of ownership is approved by the DMV, a new vehicle title will be issued in the name of the new owner.
The brothers of the deceased man are from a town called Green Hills.
The executor of the estate would need to apply for a lost title at the motor vehicle office in which the deceased lived or the car was registered.
In North Carolina, if there is no will, the deceased's estate would generally be distributed according to intestacy laws, prioritizing spouses and then children. If witnesses claim the deceased left the estate to his brothers, this may need to be proven in court, and the court would consider evidence and applicable laws to determine the rightful heirs. Ultimately, it would depend on the specific facts and circumstances of the case.
