Dealing with an inherited vehicle is stressful enough without navigating the sale process. We've helped hundreds of Whangarei families sell inherited cars — we know the NZTA requirements and guide you through every step.
What You Need to Sell an Inherited Car
To sell an inherited vehicle in NZ you need one of: probate documentation showing you as executor/beneficiary, a letter from the executor authorising you to sell, or Letters of Administration from the High Court. The vehicle doesn't need to be in your name first.
NZTA Transfer for Deceased Estates
The NZTA MR13 form can be completed for deceased estate vehicles with the appropriate supporting documentation. We've done this dozens of times in Whangarei and will guide you through exactly what's required for your situation.
What if the Car Has Been Sitting for Years?
Estate cars are often non-runners after sitting unused. That's fine — we buy non-running, no-WOF, no-rego vehicles every day. A car that's been sitting for 5 years still has scrap and parts value. We'll make a fair offer based on actual condition.
