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.
There will be different requirements depending on the state you live in. In California, the next of kin can affect a change of title on a car owned by a person deceased.
The property (including a car) of a deceased person is called the person's "estate". If the person has left a will then the person appointed in the will to "execute" the person's wishes (as set out in the will) is responsible for passing title of the car to the person it has been left to. If there is no will then the laws of your country/state will appoint someone to administer the estate and to whom the persons estate should be distributed. If you have a valid claim on the estate you should contact this person.
no not if it is not in your name
In New Jersey a car is the property of the person listed on the Certificate of Title. If the car is in the surviving spouse's name then it is not in the deceased spouse's estate. If the car was in the name of the deceased spouse, then it is in the decedent's estate, even if they both considered it to be the surviving spouse's car and was used solely by that spouse. The sole determining factor is whose name is on the Certificate of Title.
not legally A: I think not, you need to have the legal papers for your car before you can register it. You need to do a "Title Search" with DMV and then have the registered owner sign the title over to you. If the owner is deceased or cannot be found then you have to apply for a "Salvage Title" and explain the circumstance before DMV will issue you a title. jack2e
You need to inquire at your state DMV to determine how to transfer the title properly.
Nobody is responsible for the loan if there was on cosigner. If the car was inherited by someone, then that person has a right to pay the debt owed and take possession of the title.

I am a car salesman. My experience is yes. You need to call your local tag and title office.
Did you inherit the car? If so, yes. If you did not inherit the car, then no.
You can apply for it at the DMV.
