    Hi

    I am trying to sell my late father's tractor. However, I have just realised he has no vehicle registration cert for it. He bought it 2 years ago I don't think he really used it in that time.
    I contacted dept. in shannon and they said he never taxed it that's why he has no cert. But how can I sell it now with this situation.
    Insurance has run out since he died. Can I tax or insure something that is not in my name? Or is it possible to sell it without the cert?

    Hi
    I had a similar problem after my brother past away last year regarding his car. Firstly you cannot insure a vehicle you have no insurable interest in so
    if you want to insure you would have to transfer the car into your own name. Secondly do not worry about back tax on the tractor you can simply
    go to your local Garda station and pick up a change of ownership form, then when you find a buyer fill out your fathers details and sign it in his name, then forward the completed application to the address on the form
    and drop it in the post and your problem is solved
    Best of luck with your sale

    Thanks for your advice. I called into motor tax office today and they gave me the change of ownership form you mentioned. On the sale of the vehicle the buyer fills it out and sends it to shannon.

    Is there number plates on the tractor. If there isn't and there is no log book the tractor probably isn't registered. if it isn't registered you cant do a change of ownership as it isn't registered to anyone.

    There is no problem insuring it using a engine number or selling it .
    You dont need a logbook to sell a tractor.

    Have a look at this article
