That Monday, we call our local DNR in Bel Air,MD to see what all we need to get a new title. After all, we have a death certificate,previous registrations and trailer title with his name that should more then be enough-WRONG.
We were told we need a short certification from the estate and some paper work from the executor of the will showing they had rights to auction the boat. What???? I didn't think they could sell his stuff with out permission anyway?
Death certificate-no good. Apparently, anyone can get a death certificate.
Then were told to track down the executor of the will for the dead man and go from there. We promptly call the auction house explaining we need a copy of paper work saying they legally could sell us the boat. They assures us they will be in contact with the owner of the estate and tell us to call back the following day.
In MD you have 30day from bill of sale to get the boat titled or face taxes and fines.
Summary:
The death certificate is no good, the bill of sale from the auction is useless because it can't prove they could legally sell the thing and we have a beautiful boat sitting with no title. And everything has to be done by a notary. Double Crap.
