To obtain a duplicate title for a deceased relative in New Jersey, follow these steps:
1. Complete the Application for Duplicate Certificate of Ownership (form OS/SS-52).
2. Have the form notarized, if not completing the transaction at an NJMVC agency.
3. Include the deceased relative’s proof of death (death certificate or obituary).
4. Include proof that you're the executor or administrator of the estate (Will/Testament, court order).
5. Include the fee of $60. The check or money order should be payable to 'NJMVC'.
6. Mail everything to NJ Motor Vehicle Commission, Special Title Unit, PO Box 017, Trenton, NJ 08666-0017.
Then, to transfer the title, bring the old title, proof of insurance, and ID to the DMV. Completing both processes might take a few weeks.
