Settling a loved one's affairs is hard enough without wrestling a title transfer. We handle inherited and estate vehicles every week — we'll tell you exactly which documents your situation needs, walk through the paperwork with you, and pay the same day.
Plate or VIN · Instant real number · Zero obligation
Takes ~2 minutes · No obligation · We never spam or sell your info · Offers good for 7 days
To sell an inherited vehicle: get a number using the plate or VIN above, then call us about your situation. In Ohio, a surviving spouse can typically transfer up to two vehicles without probate, and executors or administrators can sell with their court letters and a death certificate — West Virginia has similar paths. Bring the documents that fit your case and we take it from there.
Every estate is a little different — joint titles, transfer-on-death designations, probate, multiple heirs — and our team has seen all of it. We'll tell you plainly what's needed, help with the BMV or DMV steps, and never rush you. If the vehicle has been sitting a while or there's still a loan on it, we handle those too. One visit, everything sorted, payment in hand.
Every number we give you is good for 7 days — shop it against anyone. It only changes if the vehicle isn't what you described, and if that happens, a real person shows you exactly what changed and why, face to face, before you decide anything. Walking away costs nothing.
And when we buy, you're paid before we leave your driveway — not 1–3 business days later. No pickup fees, no processing windows, no 800-number.

Yes, with the right documents — typically a death certificate plus either executor or administrator letters, a surviving-spouse affidavit, or a transfer-on-death designation. Call us and we'll tell you exactly what your situation needs before you make the trip.
Not always. Ohio lets a surviving spouse transfer up to two vehicles outside probate, and transfer-on-death titles skip it entirely. When probate is required, the executor's court letters are what we need. We'll walk you through it either way.
The estate's executor or administrator signs the sale on the estate's behalf, and proceeds go to the estate for distribution. If ownership passed directly to heirs, whoever is on the new title signs.
Not at all — dead battery, flat tires, expired plates, none of it matters. Describe the condition honestly and we'll come to you if it can't be driven.
