Q: My brother paid my other brother and I for our share of my deceased mother's vehicle. What do we need to sign now?
3 siblings
Brother 1 paid brother 2 and I for our share of the vehicle. What do we need to sign in order to give him full ownership and get re titled?
The vehicle was registered in Tennessee. All 3 siblings live in Mississippi.
She owned nothing else so there was no probate or will.

A: The two selling brothers need to sign the certificate of title over to the buying brother. Buyer takes it to the County Clerk to get a new title issued in his name.

A: It sounds like the vehicle is still in your mother's name. Go to the county's clerk's office and obtain their affidavit of heirship form. You fill in the vehicle information and the name of the current owner. Then you fill in the name of the person who is to receive title. Then it needs to be signed by all of the heirs (presumably the three siblings plus surviving spouse if there was one). The signatures must be notarized.
