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 (Tennessee-specific)

Tennessee allows a small estate affidavit (TCA 30-4-102) for estates under $50,000 when no personal representative has been appointed. The affidavit must be signed by all successors and notarized. Present at the county clerk's office with the death certificate and vehicle title for title transfer.

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
Confirm the estate qualifies under $50,000 (TCA 30-4-102)
Obtain signatures of all successors and have the affidavit notarized
Present at the county clerk's office with death certificate and vehicle title
