Understand the issue of legal owner. But I'm sure the DMV can tell them how to proceed with more accuracy than us guessers on Reddit--surely this is not an uncommon issue for DMV.

DMV is defintlely not going to give legal advice on how to settle an estate. Hell around here they can barely provide guidance on how to do things that are their core business.

Probably not but I'd definitely start there before spending money on a lawyer. Besides OP isn't looking for advice on how to settle an estate, just want to know options on getting rid of a car that's titled to a deceased person. If DMV can't help the only thing lost is time spent on the phone. In the county I live in we have a very good DMV that falls under the tax office.
