The decedent's estate must be probated in order for legal title to pass to his heirs under the provisions in the will or according to the state laws of intestacy if there is no will. You can check the laws of your state at the related question link provided below. Once the estate has been probated the property can be sold by the heirs.

How do you transfer the title of your deceased husbands vehicle to your name without probate when it is a lien title?

In Ohio (I'm not sure about other jurisdictions), you can transfer the title of 2 vehicles with just an affidavit & the title; you don't have to open and estate with the probate court (that's if the death was AFTER 1996. Prior to 1996, you could only transfer 1 vehicle with no probate).

How do you register car with no title or will when previous owner is dead?

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.

In New Jersey is the surviving spouse cars solely in the deceased names?

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.

Do you have to take your deceased husbands name off of the title of the house even though it is in a living trust with us as co-trustees?

Yes, it's generally advisable to remove your deceased husband's name from the title of the house, even if it is in a living trust with you as co-trustees. This can help clarify ownership and avoid potential legal complications in the future.

Consult with an estate attorney for guidance specific to your situation and jurisdiction.
