Notifying and Cancelling Other Services
If the deceased owned a car or other vehicle(s) you will need to make decisions about whether they will be sold or ownership transferred.
You will need to notify Service SA of the death before taking any further steps – a death certificate or letter from a solicitor will be required at the time of lodging the notification.
People who need to transfer vehicle registration as part of a settling a deceased estate include:
· Joint owners
· One or more beneficiaries
· Someone purchasing the vehicle
Information about transferring registration due to death can be found HERE
Contact Service SA if the vehicle has number plate rights assigned or is conditionally registered (eg a historical or special purpose vehicle).
