Car change of ownership
Seeing that you are all a knowledgable bunch, I'm sure someone will know the answer to this.
How do you change the ownership of a car from somebody that has passed away to another family member?
Thanks.

Fill in the registration document in the change of ownership section.

But you need the signature of the owner, which I wish I could get

get it signed by one of the executors of the will with a letter from the executor explaining the circumstances. DVLA will probably make a meal of
it!
alternatively don't bother and see the reactions to parking and speeding tickets for a dead person!

Sorry that you are asking this question. As I understand it the car becomes part of the owners estate upon his/her death. You would have to consult
with the executor of the deceased's estate. It would be perfectly reasonable for the executor to allow continuance of use of the car by a person
who had use of it previously, pending reading of the will.(and subject to re-insuring the car). Same legal status as the deceased's spouse
continuing to occupy the house. Once the will is read and registered the executor can sign the change of ownership document on behalf of the
deceased.
