New York Transfer of Vehicle Registered In Name of Deceased Person is a process used to transfer the ownership of a vehicle from a deceased person to another individual. This transfer is necessary when the vehicle is registered in the name of a deceased person and the vehicle needs to be transferred to another person or entity. The transfer typically involves submitting documents to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in order to prove ownership and transfer the title. There are two types of New York Transfer of Vehicle Registered In Name of Deceased Person: Intestate Transfer and Testate Transfer. Intestate Transfer is a transfer of ownership of a vehicle that was registered in the name of a deceased person who did not have a will. The transferor (usually an heir or assignee) must provide proof of ownership and the DMV will issue a new title and registration in the transferor's name. Testate Transfer is a transfer of ownership of a vehicle that was registered in the name of a deceased person who did have a will. The transferor must provide proof of the will and the DMV will issue a new title and registration in the transferor's name. Both types of transfers require the submission of documents to the DMV, including proof of ownership, death certificate, and will (if applicable). The DMV may also require additional documents, such as an affidavit of survivorship or other documents, to complete the transfer.
