Selling a loved one's car, handled with care.
If you're settling an estate, the vehicle is often the asset nobody's sure how to handle. We do this every week — in plain English, coordinating with your attorney.
If you're settling a loved one's estate in Florida and need to sell their vehicle, we can usually help. The exact path depends on how the title was held and whether probate is open — we walk families through it in plain English and coordinate directly with your attorney at no charge.
The vehicle is often the last, hardest piece
When you're a personal representative or a family member settling affairs, the house and the accounts usually have a clear process. The car in the garage is the thing nobody's sure what to do with. That's one of the things we handle most, and we make it calm and simple.
How it generally works in Florida
Every estate is different, and the right path depends on how the title was held — for example a vehicle owned jointly with rights of survivorship, one with a named beneficiary, or one owned solely by the person who passed — and on whether an estate has been opened in probate. Florida has streamlined options in some situations and requires formal steps in others.
We don't give legal advice, and we won't guess about your situation. What we do is coordinate directly with your attorney or the estate's personal representative, prepare the documents correctly on our end, and make sure the sale is clean and properly recorded. If something needs your attorney's sign-off first, we'll wait for it.
Everything can be handled from out of state
Half of these calls come from adult children coordinating from another state. Everything can be arranged by phone and email, with you on the line for each step, and we time the pickup to whatever works for the family.
A clean record for the estate file
You receive a complete paper trail showing the sale was handled properly and fairly:
- A fair written offer, based on real market pricing
- A signed bill of sale
- An odometer disclosure
- A record of payment
Straight answers.
The owner has passed away — can we still sell the car?
Usually yes, though the path depends on how the title was held and whether the estate is in probate. We'll walk you through it in plain English and coordinate with your attorney at no charge. This is one of the things we do most.
Can this be done if I'm the surviving spouse?
Often there is a streamlined path for a surviving spouse in Florida, depending on how the title was held. We'll coordinate with your attorney to confirm the correct steps for your situation.
I'm an out-of-state heir or executor — is that a problem?
Not at all. We handle out-of-state families regularly; everything can be done by phone and email with you on the line, and we'll provide the full written record for the estate file.
Do you charge to coordinate with our attorney?
No. Coordinating with your attorney or personal representative is part of the service, at no charge.
We'll make the vehicle the easy part.
