A family member has passed away, can you buy their car?

How we can help

We understand this is a difficult time following the loss of your family member. While dealing with legalities may not be at the forefront of your mind right now, determining how to handle their car is an important step.

Here’s some information to help you navigate selling a car belonging to a deceased loved one:

  • Legal Authority: You’ll typically need legal authorisation to sell the car. This could be through a will appointing an executor, or through letters of administration if there’s no will.
  • Contact Authorities: Inform the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) about the death to update ownership records.

We can’t provide specific legal advice, but here are some resources that might be helpful:

Remember, you can always reach out to us later when you’re ready to move forward with selling the car.
