What is the procedure when an owner is deceased, there is no Transfer On Death designation and the title is being held in electronic format?
Legal heirs may apply for a Decedent’s Title, TR-83a, or use the Claim of Heir Affidavit, TR-83b, by completing either of the forms and taking the completed form, the Lien Holder Consent to Transfer, form TR-128 and a copy of the current registration or verification to their local county treasurer’s motor vehicle office. The executors or administrators of estates may apply for an original title using the same process. A title fee will apply, along with any other appropriate fees or taxes. If the lien has been paid off, use the assignment portion of the Lien Holder Consent to Transfer form, TR-128, attach the lien release in lieu of the lien holder’s portion of the consent and go to your local county treasurer’s motor vehicle office and make application for title. The executors or administrators of estates, per the probated will, may apply for an original title through the same process.
