Deal with a vehicle in Wyoming

You need to continue regular car payments, maintain vehicle registration, and then transfer the car's ownership. You cannot drive the car unless you have proper registration, and penalties will be charged if this is not done on time. 

When transferring a title at death, there are a variety of different variables (such as the number of owners and the type of vehicle ownership) that make it difficult to deliver the exact requirements/documentation necessary for each possible transfer on death situation.

Additionally, each county has different title transfer requirements (i.e. Laramie County allows for a title transfer with the completion of an affidavit of distribution if thirty days have elapsed since the decedent’s death, there is no appointed estate representative, and the value of the estate is less than $200,000). Consequently, you should either call or visit the title division at your county clerk office for situation-specific information on transferring a title upon death.
