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 (Ohio-specific)

Ohio allows transfer of a motor vehicle without full probate if the estate qualifies under the summary release process (Ohio Revised Code § 2106.24). Complete BMV 3773 (Surviving Spouse or Next of Kin Affidavit) for vehicles. The affidavit must be signed by the surviving spouse or next of kin and notarized.
