Legal Question in Civil Litigation in North Carolina

What a mess. An estate will have to be probated for this man in the county whre the man reisded at the time of his death. The car is an asset of his estate. The alternative is to contact the Georgia DMV and see if they have any forms. Did the ma n actually sign the title over to you or just give it to you? If he signed the title, you may be able to use the Georgia forms to get a Georgia title. After you get the Georgia title, you can then register the vehicle in NC.

If the title and car were just given to you, then there will have to be a Georgia estate. You may be able to purchase the car from thre Georgia executor or administrator. They will be able to sign the title to you. You may still have to get this recorded in Georgia and then NC. You might want to check with your NC DMV title office to see if you obtain valid possession whether you can directly record the Georgia documents or must first get a Georgia title in your name.
