Re: no will

A surviving spouse can transfer 2 cars owned by the deceased spouse without going through probate. Provided the combined value of the cars is less than $40,000.

You will need to complete an affidavit which the county clerk of courts should be able to provide. You will also need the death certificate and the title.
