Who might this be? You or for someone else?
I had my father die and want to make sure everything in his estate is taken care of.
You would need to provide a certificate of death as well as anything else to ensure no ID theft is taking place, though I am sorry for your loss.
If I do that, can I get the title of his car transferred to me?
There is a checklist you can go through to make sure you have everything you need, please reference that.
Do I have to surrender his plates when I do this?
You can, although you may be eligibile for a refund if you meet the pre-reqs for it.
You need to make sure the estate is settled, though, before you begin this process.
It is currently ongoing, we''re waiting on the executor to finish the will.
I would then refer you to the DM Accounting Unit.
What if I have more questions about this than just fees?
If they have outstanding tickets or fees, you may or may not be liable for them if you take over the registration. Please check with the appropriate department to determine this.
Is their number (518) 474-0902?
