How do you change a vehicle ownership in Ontario when there is no will?

To transfer vehicle ownership in Ontario when the owner has passed away and there is no will, you will need to follow these steps:

1. Obtain a death certificate. You can get a death certificate from the funeral home or by contacting the Office of the Registrar General.

2. Apply for a Certificate of Estate Confirmation. You will need to apply for a Certificate of Estate Confirmation if the deceased person did not leave a will. This document confirms who is entitled to the deceased person's assets, including their vehicles. You can apply for the certificate at any Ontario courthouse.

3. Get the vehicle inspected. You will need to take the vehicle to a Ministry of Transportation (MTO) DriveTest centre for an inspection. The inspector will check the vehicle's condition and ensure it meets all safety standards.

4. Submit the Transfer of Ownership form. You will need to submit the Transfer of Ownership form to the MTO. This form can be downloaded from the MTO website or obtained at any DriveTest centre. The following documents must accompany the form:

* Death certificate

* Certificate of Estate Confirmation

* Vehicle Inspection Report

* Proof of insurance

5. Pay the transfer fees. You will need to pay a transfer fee when changing vehicle ownership. The fee is $35.

6. Receive your new vehicle ownership. You will receive your new vehicle ownership in the mail within a few weeks.
