    Hi, i'm just looking for some information on what sort of forms I need to transfer ownership of a car to another person after the original owner has died?

    Basically, a relative of mine died and I am getting his car, but we cannot find the registration book. Does anyone have any knowledge of how I would go about transferring ownership?

    Use this form

    Have it completed by a Garda member. You should bring the death certificate with you and you must be the next of kin.

    Otherwise a Next of Kin must take ownership and then transfer it to you.

    It will cost €12 to replace the document from Shannon.

    could you not just send off the form with no signature or an indecipherable squiggle?

    That's document fraud and illegal. Can come back on you quite badly.

    You can also get something signed by a peace commissioner. Same applies if you are applying for missing registration documents.

    I was in a similar position recently.

    Phone Shannon and they will post you out a Statutory Declaration. You need to get a garage to stamp it and a commissioner for oaths to witness it, but all in it's a relatively straighforward process.

    A copy of the Declaration is attached.

    The previous owner is hardly going to complain are they?

    It's the simplest solution and nobody is Shannon is going to care either way.

    It will cost €12 to replace the document from Shannon.

    Before the OP goes down this route, a word of warning: it won't work. It's wrong in nearly every way.

    Next of kin has no authority to distribute the estate of the deceased. Only the Executor can do that, assuming the deceased did not die intestate, otherwise the administrator if they did.

    When getting the Statutory Declaration witnessed it is necessary to show a copy of the Will. There is a standard €10 charge for witnessing Oaths, and Shannon do not charge anything when the SD is used.
