How do you get a car out dead persons name?

1. Obtain a death certificate. This is the most important document you will need, as it proves that the person is deceased. You can obtain a death certificate from the vital records office in the state where the person died.

2. Contact the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). You will need to visit the DMV in person or mail them the following documents:

* The death certificate

* The vehicle title

* The vehicle registration

* Your driver's license

3. Pay any outstanding fees. The DMV may charge a fee to transfer the title of the vehicle into your name.

4. Receive the new title. The DMV will issue you a new title that shows you as the owner of the vehicle.

Here are some additional tips:

* If the vehicle is registered in a state other than where the person died, you may need to contact the DMV in both states.

* If the person had a loan on the vehicle, you may need to contact the lender to get the title released.

* If the vehicle is owned by more than one person, you may need to get the consent of the other owners before you can transfer the title.
