The title is in my late father's name. Can I still sell the car?

In most cases, yes. Bring the title, the death certificate, and whatever estate documents name you as the authorized person. Tell us the details when you call and we will confirm exactly what is needed.

Do I have to travel to Florida to sell it?

No. Everything can be arranged by phone. Someone you trust, a relative, friend, or property manager, meets our driver with the keys and paperwork on pickup day.

The title is from another state. Is that a problem?

Not for us. We handle out-of-state titles regularly. The sale paperwork accounts for it, and our driver completes it with whoever meets us at pickup.

Probate has not started yet. Can we still sell?

It depends on the situation and the state involved. Call and describe what you have. We will give you an honest answer about whether we can proceed now or what would need to happen first.

Who gets the cash if I am not there?

Whoever you designate. We agree on the offer with you by phone beforehand, and at pickup the cash goes to the authorized person you named. You get confirmation as soon as the sale is complete.

Inheritance Sales, Simplified

Why Families Trust Us With Inherited Cars

No trip required: You do not need to fly to Florida to deal with the car. Arrange everything by phone, and have someone you trust meet our driver with the keys and paperwork.
Out-of-state titles are routine: A title from another state does not stop the sale. We handle out-of-state titles regularly and will tell you exactly what paperwork is needed.
One less thing during a hard time: An inherited car sitting hundreds of miles away is a source of stress, storage costs, and unanswered questions. We turn it into a closed chapter and cash for the estate.

Selling an inherited car with an out-of-state title in Florida

The Car Is There. You Are Here.

When a family member passes, their car often ends up as the most logistically annoying part of the estate. It is in Florida, you are in another state, the title is in their name, the registration may have lapsed, and every month it sits, it costs storage or insurance money while losing value.

The good news is that selling an inherited car across state lines is a solved problem. The key questions are who has legal authority to sell and what the title situation is. Once those are clear, the sale itself is straightforward, and much of it can be handled by phone.

Authority to sell, explained plainly: Generally, the person authorized by the estate, whether through probate, a will, or small-estate procedures, can sell the vehicle. Bring whatever documents you have and we will walk through it together.
Title in the deceased's name: This is the most common situation we see, and in most cases it does not prevent the sale. A death certificate plus your authorizing documents usually covers it.
No probate yet? Call anyway: Every situation is different. Describe what you have and we will tell you honestly whether we can proceed or what you would need first.

Handling an inherited vehicle sale across state lines

What You Will Need

Gather what you can: the vehicle title, the death certificate, and any court or estate documents naming you as the authorized person, such as letters testamentary or a small estate affidavit. Your photo ID as well. If the title is lost, or if probate has not started, call us before assuming the car cannot be sold. Many situations that feel stuck are actually workable.

A note on generality: estate rules vary by state and situation. What follows are general principles, not legal advice. For complex estates, a brief consult with a probate attorney in the relevant state is worth it.

If the car has a lien, meaning there is still a loan against it, the lender holds the title and must be paid from the sale. Tell us about the lien when you call. In many cases the sale can still be coordinated, with the payoff handled as part of the transaction.

The car is in Florida but the estate is elsewhere

The sale generally follows the rules of the state where the estate is administered, while the physical pickup happens in Florida. We coordinate the Florida side: pickup, towing, and payment at the time of sale.

The car is elsewhere but you are in Florida

We buy cars located in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties. If the inherited car is outside our area, we can still advise you on the paperwork, but the pickup itself needs to be within our service area.

How the Remote Sale Works

You call and describe the car and the paperwork you have. We give you a firm offer and explain exactly which documents are needed. On pickup day, someone you trust meets our driver at the car's location with the keys and paperwork. The driver verifies the car, completes the transfer documents, loads it with free towing, and hands over cash to the person you designated. You get confirmation by phone the moment it is done.

If multiple heirs are involved, it helps to have one person designated as the point of contact. We only need to coordinate with one authorized seller, which keeps the paperwork clean and avoids confusion about who signs what.
