Lost registration helpWe Buy Estate Cars in Calgary
After someone passes away, their car is often one of the last things to deal with. It may have sat for months, the registration may have lapsed and family may live out of town. Listing it privately means photos, messages and strangers coming to the house. i-Tow buys estate vehicles as they are and keeps the process simple.
Who can sell the car
The person with authority over the estate signs for the sale. That's usually the executor named in the will, or an administrator appointed by the court. If you're not sure who that is, the estate's lawyer can tell you.
Documents that usually help
- The vehicle registration, if you can find it
- The executor's driver's licence or other photo ID
- Proof of death, such as a death certificate
- The will, or the court document that names the executor or administrator
Requirements can vary, so ask an Alberta registry agent what they need for your situation. Can't find the registration? See selling a car with lost registration.
When the car has been sitting
A car that hasn't moved in months may have a dead battery, flat tires or seized brakes. That's fine. Tell us where it's parked and whether it rolls, and we'll plan the pickup. If there's more than one vehicle, we can quote them together.
Taking your time
There's no pressure. Get an offer, talk it over with the family and call us when you're ready. We agree the price and payment details with the executor before anything is booked.
