Estate sale — What You Need to Know
The vehicle is being sold by the executor or administrator of a deceased person's estate. The sale requires proof of authority to sell estate assets before the title can transfer.
Seller guidance
You must establish your legal authority to sell the vehicle. This typically requires Letters Testamentary (if there is a will) or Letters of Administration (if there is no will), issued by the probate court. Bring these letters to the DMV — they authorize you to sign as the seller and transfer the title. Some states allow small estate affidavits for low-value vehicles outside of formal probate.
Buyer guidance
Verify that the executor or administrator has active, court-issued authority to transfer the vehicle. Request a copy of the Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration. Without proper authority, the title transfer can be challenged by other beneficiaries or creditors of the estate.
Legal note (Massachusetts-specific)
Massachusetts allows a voluntary administration (MGL c.190B § 3-1201) for estates under $25,000 with no real estate. File with the Probate and Family Court for voluntary administration. The voluntary administrator signs the title and submits it with a certified copy of the appointment and the death certificate to the RMV.
Estate sale checklist
- Obtain Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration from the probate court
- Confirm the vehicle is listed as an estate asset (title or registration in the decedent's name)
- Determine if the estate qualifies for a small estate affidavit to skip formal probate
- Obtain an appraisal or fair market value statement (protects executor from beneficiary disputes)
- Complete title transfer documents with executor signing in representative capacity
- Determine if the estate qualifies under $25,000 for voluntary administration (MGL c.190B § 3-1201)
- File for voluntary administration at the Probate and Family Court
- Submit certified appointment, death certificate, and title to the RMV
