Selling a Truck After a Family Member Passes Away

Selling a family member's truck is often about more than the truck. There's no need to rush.

Who can sell it

Usually the person with legal authority over the estate, an executor, administrator, or surviving co-owner, signs the title. Requirements vary by state and by how the truck was titled.

Find the paperwork

• The title
• Any registration or insurance cards
• Maintenance records or receipts
• The story: what the truck did, who drove it, where it's been

Getting a sense of value

Families often aren't sure what an old truck is worth. A no-obligation valuation can help you decide whether to sell, keep it in the family, or wait.

This is general information, not legal advice. For your situation, consult your state's motor vehicle agency, the probate court, or an attorney.

Requesting a valuation is free and there's no obligation to sell.
