Joint Ownership – With Rights of Survivorship

When a Nebraska Certificate of Title to a motor vehicle indicates ownership by more than one individual or "Joint Buying", and the names on the face of the title are separated by the word "OR", or the term " With Rights Of Survivorship" (WROS), the survivor may transfer ownership of the vehicle by assigning the Certificate of Championship to the next buyer and providing a copy of the Expiry Document of the deceased owner to the County Treasurer. To alleviate the concerns of identity theft, the survivor may opt to have a title issued in his/her name simply prior to the transfer of ownership. To accomplish this, the properly assigned Certificate of Championship and the Death Certificate may be provided to the County Treasurer along with the proper fee and a new title will exist issued in the survivor's proper name simply.

Certificates of Championship issued in Joint Ownership where the names are separated with the words AND or AND/OR, do non carry the same meaning as With Rights Of Survivorship. If the term With Rights Of Survivorship does not appear on the title document, the survivor name on the title cannot obtain a title in their proper name until a canton judge decides, in probate proceedings, that the survivor has the right to buying of the vehicle.

Certificates of Title in the Decedents Proper name But

When the championship is in the decedents proper name lonely (or all owners are deceased), transfer of buying can occur only if an individual appointed by the courtroom to administer the estate(south) of the decedent(s) properly assigns the title to the buyer. The letter of appointment past the courtroom for this individual must be attached to the championship when it is presented to the County Treasurer.

If the total value of all of the personal property in the decedent's estate does not exceed $fifty,000, minus whatever liens and/or claims, and the championship was issued in the name of the decedent alone (or all owners are deceased), the vehicle/motorboat may be transferred without probate to a claiming successor(southward) past submitting an Affidavit for Transfer of Decedent's Vehicle/Motorboat. The championship must be issued in the name of the successor(s) - it cannot be issued in the proper noun of the purchaser. Note: Personal property does not include buying in real estate property.

Before the person claiming to be the successor of the decedent submits the Affidavit, the following guidelines must be met:

• Xxx days must have elapsed since death
• No petition for the engagement of a Personal Representative, Ambassador, Special Administrator, Executor or equivalent, is pending or has been granted
• The Nebraska Document of Championship must accompany the Affidavit, if available. If the Nebraska championship is not bachelor, the DMV must exist contacted so that a search tin be made to verify that a Nebraska title exists
• The Expiry Document must be attached to the completed Affirmation
• Affidavit must be completed in full and the signature of the successor must be notarized on the form

The Affidavit for Transfer of Decedent's Vehicle/Motorboat and all supporting documentation is submitted to the County Treasurer in the canton where the successor resides. If the Nebraska Certificate of Title is not bachelor and the vehicle is a motor vehicle, the documentation must include an Odometer Disclosure Argument.

Certificates of Championship From Another Land : If the decedent and Certificate of Title are from some other state and the survivor is a Nebraska resident, Nebraska will accept the title from the foreign state in the decedents proper noun, properly assigned by an individual who has been appointed by the courtroom to administer the estate of the deceased. The alphabetic character of appointment by the courtroom for this individual must be attached to the foreign Document of Championship when it is presented to the County Treasurer.
