uncle left brother his car

my uncle died and left his car to his brother how do we change the log book over to him

The executor signs the V5 marking it as such getts the brother to sign as the new RK, and forwards it to the DVLA, before giving the brother the temporary keepers slip.

Advisable to keep a copy of the V5, and ensure it remains taxed if on public maintained property. They may come back for a copy of the death or probate certificate before transfer.

my uncles brother does not drive anymore he gave up his licence due to the fact that he has cancer

he is going to sell the car and is coming to collect it t/morrow with the local garage owner now I'm not sure if the garage owner is going to by the car or sell it for him. My aunt is 86 and def

I have taken the log book home i want to be there when they come to collect it because she was going on about giving the log book to the man from the garage My uncle bought the car from new September 06 and it has less than 2000 mils on the clock now i believe the more registered keepers on the log book can affect the sale price of a second hand car

however am i write in think that only the person named in his will should be put on the log book

hope you understand what I'm trying to get at here I don't want any come backs on my aunt over this car i have also declared sorn on this car as the tax runs out the end of February

The person who is named in the 'log book' replacement (the V5C) is only the 'Registered Keeper', and not automatically the owner. The number of previous keepers can effect the value, but not by much - it is always year, mileage and condition.

 

When handing over the V5C, make SURE they sign the V5C/3 (YELLOW) counterfoil, to prove you are no longer responsible for it.
