Best Answer

If the owner had a lean on the vehicle it can't legally be transferred from his name, so technically you should still be able (with rep papers of course) to collect the vehicle from the estate or a family member who may have it stored from his death.

Be very courteous however because they may become violent as you will upset them in remembering their deceased relative.
