How do you transfer title of a car if owner is deceased in VA?

In Virginia, to transfer the title of a deceased owner's car, the executor or administrator of the estate must complete the title transfer process. They will need to provide the original title, a copy of the death certificate, and letters of administration or a will proving their authority. If the vehicle's value is under a certain threshold, a simpler process may apply, allowing heirs to transfer ownership without going through probate. It’s advisable to check with the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles for any specific forms or additional requirements.
