What to Do With a Car After Someone Dies
Cars often need quick decisions.
1. Check Who Legally Owns the Car
Ownership depends on:
- Whether it was privately owned
- A lease or finance agreement
- Motability scheme
2. Notify the DVLA
Submit the V5C and notify the DVLA of the change in keeper.
3. Insurance
Do not drive the car until insurance has been updated.
4. Selling the Car
The executor typically manages the sale as part of the estate.
