The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles provides specific procedures for the transfer of a vehicle's title by a surviving spouse (RMV - Surviving spouse/Heirship/Inheritance). To be safe, you should provide both the death certificate and Affidavit of Surviving Spouse to the purchaser at the time of sale. Here is a link to the affidavit: Affidavit of Surviving Spouse - Massachusetts

Lexi, Chatbot
I'm sorry to hear about your husband's passing. Are you looking for guidance on how to transfer the truck's ownership after your husband's passing?
Yes.
Lexi, Chatbot
Do you have a copy of the title and any relevant legal documents related to the ownership of the truck?
Yes.
Lexi, Chatbot
Is there anything else the lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with transferring the truck’s ownership.
Do I need a death certificate?

Hi! Welcome to AskaLawyer. I'm Courtney, an attorney with over 20 years of experience, and I'm here to help you.
Is the word "and" between your names on the title, or is the word "or"?
The title is in both our names. I believe the registration is just in my name.
Courtney S. Esq
Did you open an estate in probate court for him?
No.
Courtney S. Esq
Got it, thanks. Could you let me know which state you're located in? This will help me give you the most accurate advice.
Massachusetts.
