If you’re selling a car on behalf of someone who is deceased, you’ll need a copy of their death certificate. If the car’s value is under £10,000 they will usually be able to pay it directly to the next of kin – but confirm this with Motorway beforehand to be sure. If the car is valued at over £10,000 the buyer may need to have probate granted – or you may need a letter of permission from the estate’s solicitor to sell the vehicle. Again, you should confirm this with Motorway beforehand.
