Thanks. Having looked again at the DVLA site it is indeed very simple if you have the car and a ready buyer. Our complication remains that the car is 50 plus miles away and untaxed and uninsured. Sil is no state to progress an immediate sale.
I want to get it legal so that he has a week or two to clear more pressing issues. I am minded to get him to phone the existing insurance company to get insurance sorted today and to buy time on the tax issue by writing to the DVLA sensitive cases team to advise of the death and that he wishes to sell when funeral and other arrangements are complete. Without adding himself as the new owner.
As I say this buys time but is this a flawed plan?
