You need to have an emissions inspection performed and a VIN inspection (if required) before you can transfer the title of a vehicle in Nebraska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you complete the appropriate application form, you must provide proof of identity and have a valid NV vehicle insurance policy. All required paperwork and payments must be submitted to the NV Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the vehicle\u2019s title is solely in the descendant\u2019s name, you need to know if the estate is being probated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The probate process occurs when there is no beneficiary or living spouse listed on the will. This legal process proves the last will and testament are legitimate. During this process, the deceased individual\u2019s estate is administered based on their will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be advised, if you are listed as the beneficiary, spouse, administrator, or joint-owner of the vehicle, you may only be required to provide a death certificate and the vehicle\u2019s title at your local NV title office where they will retitle the vehicle for you.

The documentation you may be required to present includes a valid NV vehicle insurance policy that meets or exceeds the state\u2019s minimum vehicle coverage limits and a government-issued photo ID. If you don\u2019t have a government-issued photo ID, you can use a foreign passport as proof of identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you purchased a vehicle that has a signed title, but the title was never transferred, this means the seller of the vehicle didn\u2019t transfer ownership of the vehicle or register it in their name. Without transferring the vehicle\u2019s title, the title will be considered an open title. With this type of vehicle title, the seller of the vehicle isn\u2019t held accountable for anything that pertains to the vehicle, such as taxes and fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
