To obtain a title for a vehicle when the owner is deceased, you'll typically need to gather necessary documents, including the bill of sale and the death certificate. You may also need to provide proof of your relationship to the deceased, such as a will or estate documents, and complete any required forms from your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). It's advisable to check your state's specific regulations, as procedures can vary. If necessary, consider consulting an attorney for assistance with the estate and title transfer process.
You can not register a car that you do not own. The car is owned by the estate of the deceased individual. The estate gets the title and then you buy it from the estate. Some legal process must occur to distribute the estate of a person who has died. Usually, someone is legally named the executor of the estate and had authority to settle the estate in a manner consistent with a will, if one exists. If no will, exists, the executor still has the power to sell or give away the items owned by the deceased. Technically, it is the estate which owns the car, with or without a title. If you want to become the onwer of the car you must have it transferred by the estate. It is the estate (and the executor is the agent for the estate) who must acquire title to the car. With appropriate documentation, such as a certificate of death and legal documentation identifying the executor, the executor can request a new title from the State Bureau of Motor Vehicles. That title may be in the name of the deceased or in the name of the estate. The estate owns the car. Only after the estate has the title can the estate sell or gift the car to someone.
To obtain possession of a deceased person's vehicle without a title, you typically need to follow state laws regarding estate management. This often involves contacting the probate court to open an estate for the deceased and obtaining a legal document, such as a Letters of Administration or a court order, which may allow you to transfer the vehicle. Additionally, you may be required to provide proof of your relationship to the deceased and any relevant documentation regarding the vehicle. It's advisable to consult with a legal professional for guidance specific to your situation and jurisdiction.
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.
Only the co owner's estate can do that. The estate has rights in the property and will want compensation.
On the title to what? If the deceased is not on the title, they probably have no interest in it, so the estate will have nothing to do with that property. If the individual inherited the property from another estate, then the executor, appointed by the court, will take charge of the interests and follow the will or the law in the execution of their duties and the distribution of the assets of the estate. The nearest of blood kin followed by the nearest of marital kin followed by siblings. The probate court can appoint anyone that may apply for the task, as well.
