Inherited vehicle — What You Need to Know
The vehicle was left to the new owner through a will, intestate succession, or joint tenancy with right of survivorship. Title transfer requires proof of the original owner's death and your right to inherit.
Seller guidance
To transfer an inherited vehicle, you typically need the original title, a certified copy of the death certificate, and legal documentation establishing your right to inherit (e.g., Letters Testamentary, a small estate affidavit, or a court order). The specific documents required vary significantly by state.
Buyer guidance
If purchasing an inherited vehicle from the heir, ensure the heir has already completed the title transfer into their own name — or that the sale includes all documents needed for you to transfer the title. Never purchase a vehicle still titled in the name of a deceased person without an executor or court-appointed administrator involved.
Legal note
Joint tenancy with right of survivorship (JTWROS) allows immediate title transfer to the surviving co-owner upon presentation of a death certificate in most states. Vehicles passing through a will or intestate succession require probate court involvement unless the estate qualifies for a small estate procedure. Federal estate tax exemption is $13.61 million in 2024; state estate taxes may have lower thresholds.
