Seller responsibilities

The person transferring the vehicle must have legal authority to act on behalf of the estate — typically as executor (testate estate) or administrator (intestate estate). This authority is established by Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration issued by a probate court. The DMV will require a copy of these letters along with the death certificate and the title.

What buyers need to know

Before purchasing a vehicle from an estate, verify that the seller has proper legal authority. Request a copy of the Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration. If the estate is in probate, the court may need to approve the sale. Small estates in some states can use an Affidavit of Heirship to transfer title without full probate.
