Hi Does anyone know the law regarding selling an RV when the pilot passes away. As surviving spouse what do I need to do. No will or trust.
Thanks Debi

Default Our Condolences
First of all, our condolences to you and your family. There are others that are much more familiar with the laws in this regard. Hopefully they answer here. Once everything goes through court, I'm sure that there are plenty of people here who can help you through the selling process.
Best,
Brian

Default Widow Selling RV
Assuming the RV is Flying:

The aircraft registration branch of the FAA in Oklahoma City is very helpful. Contact them and they will walk you thru the process.

I went thru this recently. This site can help set a value also. There are many papers and logbooks that go with a plane. They are very important and valuable. Protect them. Look on the white pages section on this website for a nearby RV owner who might be willing to advise you.

Blessings!

My condolences.
As the estate goes thru probate or its equivalent, when you are named heir you will get a form letter saying you are the executor of the estate, to use with banks, etc.
When the plane sells, sign the FAA bill of sale as 'executor for Mr. Smith' and include a copy of the letter. That's it.

Actually my lawyer says that since no real property is involved probate is not needed. So maybe just death certificate to FAA?

Isn't the airplane property? Since you have a lawyer, ask him.
I have gone thru this twice, with friends and partners. The FAA wanted its usual bill of sale, signed by the surviving spouse, along with a statement that she was the legal heir. Copy of death certificate couldn't hurt.

The lawyer said real property as in land. I guess it should be like a car.

I'd treat it like a car. You own it now, so you can sell it; I don't think you have to put it in your name, but it might not be a bad idea to ease buyers' minds.
