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 (Texas-specific)

Texas allows a small estate affidavit (Texas Estates Code § 205) for estates under $75,000 with no will. For vehicles, use VTR-262 (Affidavit of Heirship for a Motor Vehicle) to transfer title without probate. The affidavit must be signed by two disinterested witnesses and notarized.

Texas requires title transfer within 30 days of the sale date on the bill of sale. For estate sale transactions specifically, file at Texas TxDMV – Borger (Visit https://www.txdmv.gov to find the nearest Borger office) during normal hours: Mon–Fri 8:00 AM–5:00 PM (verify hours with local office). Texas TX does not require a notarized bill of sale; however, Form 14-317 (Affidavit of Motor Vehicle Gift Transfer) must be notarized. Miss the 30-day window and Texas typically charges a late-transfer penalty plus accrued use tax, and the seller can remain on the title for civil liability until the buyer completes retitling. Bring the signed title, the completed Borger bill of sale, your government-issued ID, and payment for the $33.00 title transfer fee plus 6.25% sales tax on the purchase price.

Printable reminder. Whether you keep your printable as a printed two-copy paper record, both buyer and seller should leave the signing with an identical executed copy. The buyer needs the original to present at Texas TxDMV – Borger; the seller keeps a duplicate to prove the date of transfer if a future liability question arises before the title fully retitles.
