What we need to ship an inherited vehicle
Documentation: confirmation that you have the legal right to remove the vehicle from the pickup address. This is typically the title (transferred to you via probate or beneficiary deed), a letter from the estate's executor or attorney, or a sale/transfer document. We can dispatch on the executor's letter alone; title transfer can complete later.
Logistics: a pickup address, a contact person at that address (executor, family member, neighbor), the keys, and the registration if available.
Flexible timing for estate situations
Estate logistics rarely fit a tight schedule. We can hold a flexible pickup window for 1–3 weeks without charging anything — your card is pre-authorized, not charged, until pickup happens. If you need more time, we re-quote at no penalty.
Coordinating with executors, attorneys, or family
If you're the beneficiary but not the executor, we work directly with whoever has authority at the pickup address. We don't need you to be on-site or even nearby. We can also schedule pickup quietly, without ringing doorbells repeatedly or making a scene — just one phone call to confirm the day-of window.
Vehicle condition considerations
Inherited vehicles are sometimes vehicles that haven't been driven in a while. Make sure: the battery has charge or has been replaced (we can recommend a mobile jump service if needed); the tires hold air; and the keys actually start the vehicle. If the car is inoperable, mention that at quote time — we send a winch-equipped carrier.
