    Title question...

    Vehicle has a clear Florida title.
    Owner passed away 3 weeks ago.
    Title and car tag is still in deceased owners name.
    Owner's son is attempting to sell vehicle.

    What does he have to do to sell a car that belonged to his deceased mother to me?

    Thanks!

    There probably is a similar procedure in Florida. You should closely search its DMV website if you haven't already.

    A notary statement might be sufficient.

    Will be registering the title in Alabama. Sooooo...In that respect, it doesn't matter what Florida DMV says, correct?

    My guess is that Alabama would reject your registration if the title's name does not match the seller's and you don't present a legal document about the seller inheriting the car. You need to determine Florida's procedures first.

    New Jersey's rules:

    In the Commonwealth of Virginia...

    In order to sell my dad's belongings, including a 2002 Dodge Cummins, the heir of the estate had all rights. This was me. However, I signed over all rights to my grandfather, who then sold the truck to my his son (dad's brother). Any and everything that was in and on the property of the deceased, had to be recorded so that the county could record any and everything. Of course there is more to it than this, but I beleive this should clarify your question. Not too sure how Florida works, just make sure that whoever is handling the deceased individual's belongings talks to a lawyer before doing ANYTHING! Could come back to bite him if not...

    He could have the title willed to him, then sell it to you.
    When my grandfather passed I bought his old truck from my grandmother. We went to the courthouse and had the title willed to me since I was family (heirship transfer or something like that). Didn't have to pay taxes on it either that way.
