Transferring a vehicle in Nebraska after someone dies

In most states the word between two names on a title changes how much paperwork a survivor needs. In Nebraska it changes whether they can act at all: without the term With Rights Of Survivorship, a surviving co-owner cannot get a title in their name until a county judge decides, in probate proceedings, that they own the car.

State Nebraska

The procedure is set by the state that issued the title, not by where the owner lived.

Sahvelo publishes 50 states for this topic. If the title came from another state, that state's motor vehicle agency is the authoritative source until we publish it. See what's published.

The paths this state offers

Every route Sahvelo has verified for transferring a vehicle after a death in this state, side by side. The guided questions identify which one applies to you.

Path When it applies Court involvement Tax owed Speed Authority
Transfer on Death The certificate carries the TOD tag None — ownership vests without an application Not established on this route Fastest, and the beneficiary can pass it straight on Neb. Rev. Stat. § 30-2715.01
OR or With Rights Of Survivorship Two names separated by OR, or the WROS term on the title None Not established on this route Fast — assign the title with proof of death Nebraska DMV — Transfer of Ownership
Decedent's affidavit Title in the deceased's name alone, thirty days, personal property of $100,000 or less, nobody appointed None Not established on this route Fast, but the title must land in the successor's name first Neb. Rev. Stat. § 30-24,125; Affidavit for Transfer of Decedent's Vehicle/Motorboat
Court appointment Somebody has been appointed, or the estate is above the ceiling Yes — and the letter of appointment is attached to the title Not established on this route Depends on the appointment, but it can go straight to a buyer Nebraska DMV — Transfer of Ownership
Another state's title The deceased and the title are from another state and the survivor is a Nebraska resident Yes — a court-appointed administrator must assign it Not established on this route Depends on the appointment in the other state Nebraska DMV — Transfer of Ownership

AND is a bar, not a formality

Several states in this corpus read the conjunction between two names on a title. Nebraska reads it too, and then does something harder than any of them. Where the names are separated by the word OR, or the term With Rights Of Survivorship appears, the survivor may transfer ownership by assigning the certificate to the next buyer with a copy of the death certificate or abstract of death.1

Where they are separated with AND or AND/OR, the Department says those do not carry the same meaning — and if the term With Rights Of Survivorship does not appear on the title document, the survivor named on the title cannot obtain a title in their name until a county judge decides, in probate proceedings, that the survivor has the right to ownership of the vehicle.1

So this is a court step rather than a longer document list, and it comes before the co-owner can be an owner. What the proceeding itself takes is not published on the page, and this page states nothing about it.1

On the lighter branch there is a middle option worth knowing about, and the Department gives its reason: to alleviate the concerns of identity theft, the survivor may opt to have a title issued in their name only before transferring ownership.1

The affidavit cannot name a buyer

Where the title stands in the deceased's name alone and the personal property in the estate does not exceed $100,000 less liens and claims, the vehicle may be transferred without probate to a claiming successor on the Affidavit for Transfer of Decedent's Vehicle/Motorboat.•

And then the restriction families trip over: the title must be issued in the name of the successor — it cannot be issued in the name of the purchaser. A family who has already agreed to sell the car has two transactions ahead of them, not one.•

The court-appointment route does not carry that restriction. There, the individual appointed by the court to administer the estate properly assigns the title to the buyer, with the letter of appointment attached when it is presented.•

The count leaves the house out entirely: personal property does not include ownership in real estate property. It does not leave out an out-of-state asset — the statute measures all of the personal property in the estate, wherever located, less liens and encumbrances.•3

Ten years after the estate closed

Nebraska has a rule for the car that has sat in a family for a decade with the paperwork half done. Ordinarily the affidavit certifies that no application or petition for the appointment of a personal representative is pending or has been granted in any jurisdiction — an estate that was opened and closed years ago would fail that.3

So the statute waives it: after ten years have elapsed since the estate has closed, the Department of Motor Vehicles shall waive the requirements of subdivision (a)(5) if the person seeking a transfer provides evidence that the estate has closed and a certified authenticated copy of the death certificate.3

The Department carries the same relief into its own guidance, in the parenthesis attached to its second guideline: no petition pending or granted, or the estate has been closed for more than ten years.•

The affidavit form itself has a line for it, sitting outside the numbered statements as the alternative to the no-appointment declaration.2

Or the basis of your claim

Nebraska's affidavit does not require the claimant to be a relative. It asks for the relationship and then, in the same sentence, for what to do when there is not one: the claiming successor's relationship to the decedent or, if there is no relationship, the basis of the successor's claim to the personal property.3

The form is drawn to match, with a blank for the relationship and a second blank for the basis of the claim where there is none.2

The rest of the affidavit narrows what that claim can be: that no other person has a right to the interest of the deceased in the vehicle, and that the signer is entitled to the title for it. Both are sworn under penalty of perjury under a named criminal statute.2

The same affidavit does more than a car. On presentation of it a claiming successor may endorse or negotiate a check, draft or other negotiable instrument payable to the deceased or the estate — and a financial institution that accepts one for deposit in that manner is discharged from all claims for the amount accepted.3

An unreleased lien follows the car

Nebraska does not treat a loan as a bar on any of these routes. It treats it as something that travels, and the affidavit says so on its own first page: any unreleased lien on the title will transfer to the new title.2

The transfer-on-death designation is subject to the rights of all lienholders — and the statute spells out that this reaches a lender who arrived after the designation was made: whether created before, simultaneously with, or after the creation of the transfer-on-death interest.4

The lien does come off the arithmetic. The affidavit ceiling is measured on all of the personal property in the estate less liens and encumbrances, so a financed car counts at its equity.3

The county where the successor lives

Nebraska sends the affidavit somewhere other states do not. It and all supporting documentation is submitted to the County Treasurer in the county where the successor resides — not where the person died, and not where the vehicle is.•

Proof of death comes first everywhere: before any transfer of ownership can occur for a vehicle or motorboat of a decedent, satisfactory proof of death must be provided to the County Treasurer in the form of a death certificate or abstract of death.1

The abstract of death is not a lesser document — the statute names it precisely for the case where the certified certificate is delayed, and both the form and the guidance treat the two as alternatives.32

Where the Nebraska certificate cannot be found, the Department must be contacted so that a search can be made to verify that a Nebraska title exists — and where the title is unavailable and the vehicle is a motor vehicle, an Odometer Disclosure Statement must be included.•

What to do, step by step

The order of operations for each path. Only one of these applies to you — the guided questions will say which.

Transfer on Death

Ownership vests in the beneficiary on the death, without an application.

  1. First

    Check the face of the certificate

    The tag appears after the owners' names as the words transfer on death to, or the abbreviation TOD, followed by a name — which may be a trustee.

  2. First

    Get proof of death

    A death certificate or abstract of death must be provided to the County Treasurer before any transfer of ownership can occur.

  3. First

    Choose between titling it and passing it on

    Apply for a title in the beneficiary's name with an Application for Certificate of Title, or transfer ownership straight to a third party by attaching the proof of death and signing the certificate as TOD.

  4. First

    Expect any lienholder to rank first

    The designation is subject to the rights of all lienholders, whether created before, simultaneously with, or after the transfer-on-death interest.

OR, or With Rights Of Survivorship

The survivor assigns the title with proof of death.

  1. First

    Confirm the wording on the title

    The names separated by OR, or the term With Rights Of Survivorship appearing on the title document.

  2. First

    Get a death certificate or abstract of death

    A copy goes to the County Treasurer with the assigned certificate of title.

  3. First

    Assign the title to the next buyer

    That is the whole of it on this route — the survivor may transfer ownership by assigning the certificate and providing proof of the death.

  4. First

    Or take a title in your own name first

    To alleviate the concerns of identity theft, the survivor may opt for a title in their name only, on the properly assigned certificate, the proof of death and the proper fee.

Decedent's affidavit

Thirty days, $100,000 of personal property, and a title in the successor's name.

  1. Wait thirty days from the death

    Thirty days must have elapsed before the affidavit can be used.

  2. First

    Value the personal property

    All of it, wherever located, less liens and encumbrances, must not exceed $100,000. Real estate is outside the count.

  3. First

    Check that nobody has been appointed

    No petition for a Personal Representative, Administrator, Special Administrator, Executor or equivalent may be pending or granted — unless the estate has been closed for more than ten years.

  4. First

    Attach the title and the proof of death

    The Nebraska certificate of title if available, and the death certificate or abstract of death. Where the title is unavailable, contact the Department so a search can verify that a Nebraska title exists.

  5. First

    Complete it in full and have it notarized

    The successor's signature must be notarized on the form, and the oath is under penalty of perjury under Neb. Rev. Stat. §28-915.

  6. First

    File it where the successor lives

    The affidavit and all supporting documentation go to the County Treasurer in the county where the successor resides.

  7. First

    Sell it as a second transaction if at all

    The title must be issued in the name of the successor — it cannot be issued in the name of the purchaser.

Court appointment

The appointed individual assigns the title straight to the buyer.

  1. First

    Obtain the letter of appointment

    It must be attached to the title when it is presented to the County Treasurer.

  2. First

    The appointed individual assigns the title

    Transfer of ownership can occur only if an individual appointed by the court to administer the estate properly assigns the title to the buyer.

  3. First

    Provide proof of death

    A death certificate or abstract of death, to the County Treasurer, before any transfer of ownership can occur.

Another state's title

Accepted where the survivor is a Nebraska resident and a court appointed an administrator.

  1. First

    Check both halves

    The deceased and the certificate of title are from another state, and the survivor is a Nebraska resident.

  2. First

    Have the appointed administrator assign the foreign title

    Nebraska will accept the title from the foreign state in the deceased's name, properly assigned by an individual appointed by the court to administer the estate.

  3. First

    Attach the letter of appointment

    It must be attached to the foreign certificate of title when it is presented to the County Treasurer.

  4. First

    Provide proof of death

    A death certificate or abstract of death, as on every other route.

What it costs

Fees change, and the agency's own schedule is the only current source. Where Sahvelo cannot verify a fixed amount, it links the schedule rather than quoting a number.

Current fee schedule

After you file

  • A loan that was not released is still there. The affidavit's own first page states it: any unreleased lien on the title will transfer to the new title. And a transfer-on-death designation is subject to the rights of all lienholders, whether the lien came before the designation or after it.

  • The title is now in the successor's name, which is where the affidavit route always ends — it cannot be issued in the name of a purchaser. Selling the vehicle is a separate transaction from this one.

    Applies to The affidavit — but the title lands in the successor's name, not a buyer's

  • A beneficiary who took the title can add their own designation later. A beneficiary designation may be changed at any time by the owner, or by the surviving joint-tenant-with-right-of-survivorship owners, without the consent of any beneficiary, by filing an application for a subsequent certificate of title.

    Applies to The title says TOD — ownership vests without anybody applying

  • Keep copies of the affidavit for the rest of the estate. On presentation of the same affidavit a claiming successor may endorse or negotiate a check, draft or other negotiable instrument payable to the deceased or the estate, and the accepting financial institution is discharged from all claims for the amount accepted.

    Applies to The affidavit — but the title lands in the successor's name, not a buyer's

If your situation doesn't fit one of these paths

Common complications, and what each one changes.

  • Two names joined by AND, and you expected the survivor to own it

    Nebraska does not treat that as ownership. Certificates issued in joint ownership where the names are separated with the words AND or AND/OR do not carry the same meaning as With Rights Of Survivorship — and if that term does not appear on the title document, the survivor named on the title cannot obtain a title in their name until a county judge decides, in probate proceedings, that the survivor has the right to ownership of the vehicle. It is a court step rather than more paperwork, and what the proceeding takes is not published.1

  • You have already agreed to sell the car

    The affidavit route cannot deliver it to the buyer. The title must be issued in the name of the successor — it cannot be issued in the name of the purchaser — so a sale is a second transaction after the successor holds the title. The court-appointment route is drawn the other way: there, the individual appointed by the court properly assigns the title to the buyer.•

  • The estate was closed years ago and nobody moved the car

    Nebraska has a relief written for exactly that. Ordinarily the affidavit requires that no application or petition for the appointment of a personal representative is pending or has been granted in any jurisdiction — an estate that was opened and closed would fail it. But after ten years have elapsed since the estate has closed, the Department shall waive that requirement if the person seeking a transfer provides evidence that the estate has closed and a certified authenticated copy of the death certificate.3•

  • There is still a loan on the car

    It travels rather than blocking. The affidavit's own first page says so: any unreleased lien on the title will transfer to the new title. On the transfer-on-death route the statute goes further and covers a lender who came later — the designation is subject to the rights of all lienholders, whether created before, simultaneously with, or after the creation of the transfer-on-death interest. The lien does come off the affidavit's arithmetic, which measures the personal property less liens and encumbrances.243

  • There is a house, and you think the estate is too big

    It may not be. The Department is explicit that personal property does not include ownership in real estate property, so a house is outside the $100,000 figure altogether. What is inside it is all of the personal property in the estate wherever located, less liens and encumbrances — including an account in another state.•3

  • The Nebraska certificate of title cannot be found

    There is a published step for it. The Nebraska certificate must accompany the affidavit if available; if it is not, the Department must be contacted so that a search can be made to verify that a Nebraska title exists. And where the title is unavailable and the vehicle is a motor vehicle, the documentation must include an Odometer Disclosure Statement.•

  • The certified death certificate has not arrived yet

    Nebraska anticipated the delay. The statute allows, in the event of a delay in the production of a certified death certificate, an abstract of death as defined in section 71-601.01 attached to the affidavit — and the Department treats a death certificate or abstract of death as alternatives everywhere on the page, including for the proof that must reach the County Treasurer before any transfer of ownership can occur.31

  • The person died in another state and the title is theirs

    Nebraska publishes a route for this, which few states do — but it has two halves and both are required. If the deceased and the certificate of title are from another state and the survivor is a Nebraska resident, Nebraska will accept the title from the foreign state in the deceased's name, properly assigned by an individual who has been appointed by the court to administer the estate, with the letter of appointment attached when it is presented to the County Treasurer.•

  • You want the family trust to receive the vehicle

    Nebraska allows it on the title itself: a trust may be the beneficiary of a transfer-on-death certificate of title, and the certificate is worded with the name of the trustee where a trust is the beneficiary. The designation can be changed at any time by the owner, or by the surviving joint-tenant-with-right-of-survivorship owners, without the consent of any beneficiary, by filing an application for a subsequent certificate of title.4

  • You went to the county where the person died

    That may be the wrong counter. Nebraska sends the affidavit to the County Treasurer in the county where the successor resides — not the county of the death, and not the county where the vehicle is kept. The Department also publishes an email address and a telephone number for questions about a decedent's motor vehicle.•

  • There is a check made out to the person who died

    The same affidavit reaches it. On presentation of an affidavit under section 30-24,125 the claiming successor may endorse or negotiate any instrument evidencing a debt belonging to the deceased that is a check, draft or other negotiable instrument payable to the deceased or the estate — and a financial institution accepting one presented for deposit in that manner is discharged from all claims for the amount accepted. Keep copies of the affidavit for that reason.3

Questions people ask about this

  • There are two names on the title. Does the survivor get the car?

    Only if the title says so. Where the names are separated by OR, or the term With Rights Of Survivorship appears, the survivor may transfer ownership by assigning the certificate with proof of death. Where they are separated with AND or AND/OR and the survivorship term does not appear, the survivor cannot obtain a title in their name until a county judge decides the point in probate proceedings.1

  • How much can pass on the affidavit?

    $100,000 of personal property, less liens and claims — and personal property does not include ownership in real estate, so a house is outside the figure. Property in another state is inside it: the statute measures all of the personal property in the estate, wherever located.•3

  • Can the affidavit put the title straight into the buyer's name?

    No. The title must be issued in the name of the successor — it cannot be issued in the name of the purchaser. Selling the vehicle is a second transaction. The court-appointment route is different: there the appointed individual assigns the title to the buyer.•

  • How long do we have to wait?

    Thirty days from the death before the affidavit can be used. There is no waiting period published for the survivorship route or the transfer-on-death route — but proof of death must reach the County Treasurer before any transfer of ownership can occur.•1

  • An estate was opened years ago and closed. Are we stuck?

    Not after ten years. The statute directs that after ten years have elapsed since the estate has closed, the Department shall waive the requirement that no appointment be pending or granted, if the person seeking the transfer provides evidence that the estate has closed and a certified authenticated copy of the death certificate.3

  • Does the claimant have to be a relative?

    No. The affidavit asks for the claiming successor's relationship to the decedent or, if there is no relationship, the basis of the successor's claim to the personal property. It does require that no other person has a right to the deceased's interest in the vehicle.32

  • There is a loan on the car. What happens to it?

    It follows the car. The affidavit's own first page states that any unreleased lien on the title will transfer to the new title, and a transfer-on-death designation is subject to the rights of all lienholders, whether created before, simultaneously with, or after the designation.24

  • Where do we file?

    The County Treasurer in the county where the successor resides — not where the person died, and not where the vehicle is. The Department also publishes an email address and telephone number for questions about a decedent's motor vehicle.•

  • The title says TOD. What does the beneficiary do?

    Ownership vests in them on the death without an application. They may then apply for a title in their own name with proof of death and an Application for Certificate of Title, or transfer ownership straight to a third party by attaching the proof of death and signing the certificate as TOD.41

  • The death certificate has not come yet. Can we start?

    Yes, with an abstract of death. The statute allows one in the event of a delay in the production of a certified death certificate, and the Department treats a death certificate or abstract of death as alternatives throughout.31

  • The title is from another state. Will Nebraska take it?

    In one situation. If the deceased and the certificate of title are from another state and the survivor is a Nebraska resident, Nebraska will accept the foreign title in the deceased's name, properly assigned by a court-appointed administrator, with the letter of appointment attached when it is presented to the County Treasurer.•

  • What does it cost?

    Sahvelo states no Nebraska title fee, because the pages read here refer to the proper fee without naming an amount. The cost that does not go away is the loan: an unreleased lien transfers to the new title.12

What the terms mean

6 terms used on this page, defined from the statute
With Rights Of Survivorship
The term whose presence on a Nebraska certificate of title decides whether a surviving co-owner can act. With it — or with the names separated by OR — the survivor may transfer ownership by assigning the title with proof of death. Without it, and with the names separated by AND or AND/OR, the survivor cannot obtain a title until a county judge decides the point in probate proceedings. Nebraska DMV — Transfer of Ownership
Claiming successor
The person who takes a Nebraska vehicle on the affidavit under section 30-24,125. They state their relationship to the deceased or, where there is none, the basis of their claim; that no other person has a right to the deceased's interest; and that they are entitled to the title. The title issues in their name and cannot issue in a purchaser's. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 30-24,125, Affidavit for Transfer of Decedent's Vehicle/Motorboat
Abstract of death
Nebraska's alternative to a certified death certificate, named in the statute for the case of a delay in producing one, and treated by the Department as an equally acceptable proof of death throughout its decedent guidance. It is defined in section 71-601.01. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 30-24,125, Nebraska DMV — Transfer of Ownership
Transfer-on-death certificate of title
A Nebraska certificate carrying, after the owners' names, the words transfer on death to or the abbreviation TOD and a beneficiary — which may be a trustee, since a trust may be the beneficiary. The beneficiary has no interest until the death, the designation can be changed without their consent, and ownership vests automatically on the death subject to the rights of all lienholders. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 30-2715.01
Letter of appointment
The document a Nebraska County Treasurer wants where an individual appointed by the court is assigning the title. It must be attached to the certificate of title when it is presented — and the same requirement applies to another state's certificate where the survivor is a Nebraska resident. Nebraska DMV — Transfer of Ownership
County Treasurer
Where every Nebraska title transaction on this page is submitted, and where satisfactory proof of death must be provided before any transfer of ownership can occur. On the affidavit route it is specifically the County Treasurer in the county where the successor resides. Nebraska DMV — Transfer of Ownership
