My spouse has died and the vehicle is still in her/his name, what do I do?

Proceed to the title office in any county and apply for surviving spouse certificate of title. Some counties require a certified copy of the death certificate, so phone ahead for requirements. You may apply for up to 2 vehicles on a surviving spouse benefit. However, the estimated value of both vehicles cannot exceed $40,000. Surviving spouse can only transfer passenger vehicles, or a 3/4 ton truck or smaller into their names. Commercial vehicles, motor homes, motor cycles, recreational vehicles are not covered under the surviving spouse law.
