The fact that there is a car to be transferred means there is an estate. By this I mean there is an asset in the name of the decedent alone and that asset constitutes the estate of the decedent. If no one has come forward or wants to come forward to probate a will or to have letters of administration granted to begin estate administration, then the person who is legally entitled to the car has a right to apply to the probate court for probate of the will (if there is one) and for appointment of an executor. That person also has a right to apply for letters of administration if there is no will. The rule here is that if a named executor does not want to do anything or if the family members entitled to be administrators do not want to do anything, then any person with some interest in the estate may apply to the probate court for appointment of the appropriate type of personal representative who will have the power to transfer title.
Additional InformationIn most jurisdictions there is a simplified procedure for small estates. In Massachusetts it's called a Voluntary Administration and is used specifically to transfer ownership of a car. It is quick and inexpensive and does not require all the filings and expense of a regular probate process. Even if the decedent had a will it can be filed with the VA if there is no other property in the decedent's name. Check with your local probate court for the simplified probate procedure in your jurisdiction.If there is other property in the name of the decedent and it's not a small estate then his estate must be probated. The property will pass according to the will or the state laws of intestacy if there is no will. Once an executor or administrator has been appointed they will have the authority to transfer the title to the appropriate person.
