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 (New Jersey-specific)

New Jersey allows a small estate affidavit (NJSA 3B:10-3) for estates under $20,000 with no surviving spouse. The heir or beneficiary presents the affidavit at the MVC along with a death certificate and the vehicle title. Estates above the threshold require an executor or administrator appointed by the Surrogate Court.

Determine if the estate qualifies under the $20,000 small estate threshold (NJSA 3B:10-3)
