Re: Bequesting a car to a family member
Presuming there was a Will, it must be probated and the Executor appointed. The Executor can then go to Motor Vehicles along with the heir inheriting the car and sign the transfer documents, including a sales tax exemption form. Be sure the Executor has a copy of the Letters Testamentary issued by the Surrogate to evidence his authority to sign the documents.
