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

Estate vehicle sales are governed by each state's probate code. Small estate affidavit thresholds vary widely (e.g., California allows affidavit transfer for estates under $184,500 as of 2024; Texas allows under $75,000). The executor has fiduciary duties to the estate and must sell at fair market value. Estate transfers may be subject to estate tax if the total estate exceeds federal exemption ($13.61 million in 2024) or the applicable state estate tax threshold.
