need info on how to transfer car if owner died

[streetpunk]

posting for someone...
he bought a car,couldn't transfer one time as he bought it with a damaged engine and tranny and other little issues and he had to fix it up......
however the guy he bought it from(the owner) has now passed away.....

any info on how he can go about to getting it transfer to his name

he has the guy copies of his id and dp and he has the certify copy receipt where he bought the vehicle and also the death certificate ....

[speedist]

Should be all he needs, once he have a receipt/proof of purchase from the deceased.............

Typical mistake. You can transfer a damaged car at licence office. He didnt have to wait

[speedmelter]

yea hes a bit screwed up seeing that he let the time expired since the receipt was made..

the person that the title is going to would have to transfer it to him.. could be a bad situation

I have a similar problem, will has to be probated or if no will, someone in family has to get letter of Administration, then that perosn could transfer. This is what i was told, over three years now.

[ronsin1]

^^^ that is correct if he does not have a will someone in the family will need to get a letter of administration

I am in the same predicament right now. And this is what I am doing and getting thru thus far.

The registered owner past away. I was advised that the who ever gains the Letter of Administration for the deceased belongings will be responsible for transfer. I would need the following to have it done legally:

-Original and copy of Death Cert of registered owner
-Original and copy of Deceased ID/DP
-Original and copy of Letter of Administration
-Original and copy of the ID/DP of whom so ever holds the Letter of Administration
-Both myself and the holder of the letter of admin must be present at license office where by all other transfer procedures and policies will take place.

If the family of the deceased doesn't know, the Letter of Admin can be obtained via the Red House and this can take up to 6 months to get.

Hope this helps.

nope, customs deals wid clearance

some people just lackadaisical when it comes to vehicle transfer, no wonder they end up in this sort of sheit.

i have a friend whose family buy cars, they use it for a few years and during usage the put it up for sale, then when someone is ready to buy it they introduce them to the previous owners to get it transferred. and ive seen them place ads right here on tuner that all paperwork in ordah!!

lawyer up.......

Lic Off POS has a notice posted for the public on 'transferring from a deceased'.....

rgds

[speedmelter]

OP its best your friend start scrapping the vehicle and selling it off as parts before the owner's son claims it and he lose the entire thing.

this is exactly right....and the only way it can be done legally....but with the corrupt elements in the licence office, a small bribe would suffice
