Inherited a Car You Don't Need?

Selling an Inherited Car in Washington State

When someone passes away, their car becomes part of their estate. How you sell it depends on whether there's a will, probate, and how the title is held. But don't worry — we've helped hundreds of families sell inherited vehicles and we know the process.

• If you're the executor: You can sign on behalf of the estate
• If there's a will: Follow the will's instructions for property distribution
• If there's no will: Small estate affidavit may work for lower-value cars
• Joint ownership: Surviving owner can sell with death certificate

What If the Title Isn't in Your Name?

This is the most common concern. The good news: you don't need to transfer the title to YOUR name before selling. As executor or heir, you can sell directly. We help with the paperwork every day.

• Bring the original title (if available)
• Bring your ID and proof of relationship/executor status
• Bring the death certificate
• We handle the rest — we know WA DOL requirements
