A grant of probate or letters of administration is not usually needed to transfer the registration of a motor vehicle from a deceased person to a beneficiary. An application for transfer of ownership form must be lodged with Registration and Licensing.
A fee is usually payable for the transfer of registration but a beneficiary who inherits a vehicle may be eligible for a reduction or exemption of stamp duty. They will usually need to provide evidence of their entitlement to the vehicle (such as by providing a copy of the will) and a completed application for an exemption from stamp duty. See the Department for Infrastructure and Transport's online information to learn more.
We embrace diversity and welcome all people, irrespective of culture, faith, sexual orientation and gender identity.
