How to transfer a car after the owner's death?
2 Answers
The process for transferring ownership after the owner's death is as follows: 1. Bring the death certificate to a notary office for notarization. Then, with the death certificate, the notarized inheritance certificate, the heir's ID, the vehicle license, and the vehicle registration certificate, drive the car to the local vehicle management office to complete the transfer procedures. 2. To process the inheritance notarization, follow standard inheritance procedures. If there is a will, execute the inheritance according to the will. If there is no will, the inheritance will be handled according to the deceased's first-line heirs. 3. Select one heir, have the others sign a waiver of inheritance, and then complete the notarization to obtain the inheritance certificate. Vehicle inspection: Drive the car to the inspection site for an external inspection, stamping, license plate removal, and photography. Obtain the vehicle photo and attach it to the inspection record form before proceeding to the transfer hall for filing. License plate selection: After obtaining a number from the dispenser, queue with the relevant materials to pay the transfer fees. Required materials for transfer include the vehicle registration, transfer, and cancellation form, application form for transfer, inspection record form, original vehicle property registration certificate, original vehicle license, original owner's ID, original license plate number, vehicle photo, and transfer invoice from the trading market.
Just helped my neighbor complete this procedure yesterday, and there are indeed some details to pay attention to. You need to prepare the original death certificate, and the household register should show the inheritance relationship. All legal heirs must go to the notary office together to complete the inheritance notarization. This includes the spouse, children, and parents. Everyone must agree on who the vehicle will go to, and the others must sign a waiver statement on the spot. Only after obtaining the notarization certificate can you go to the vehicle management office, bringing the vehicle registration certificate (green book), driving license, new owner's ID card, and original insurance policy. If the vehicle has a mortgage, it must be released first, and any traffic violations must also be cleared. It's recommended to first get a material checklist from the vehicle management office, as lacking any document could mean a wasted trip. The whole process can be completed within two weeks if everything goes smoothly, but with all documents ready, you can get the new driving license on the same day.
