I would think it has to be transferred to your name with the death certificate then you can sell it . But what do I know :? I signed all auto tittles I own in the event I die they can be sold to who ever gives a rats ass

Check with your local motor vehicle agency. Typically the executor of the estate signs the title and includes a copy of the death certificate for the new owner to take to the local motor vehicle agency. But laws vary from State to State. Jim
