Transfer green book from dead friend

[dictater]

Looking to see if anyone knows the procedure of transferring a green book on a motorcycle and car from a dead person's name. Been told a number of different things but none of them seems right to me but I don't know exactly. There is a death certificate and the family wants to sell the bike and truck. Local vehicle dept. Said the process must start at immigration but that can't be right, and I know how unhelpful this particular office has been in the past.

Not 100% sure, but according to me Immigration will have nothing to do with it after a death certificate has been made. My thoughts are that the person close to him must now take ownership and transfer you you, or might be able to transfer directly.

Ask Prawit?

Given there are effectively titles to both assets of the decedent you mention, probate will be required. We westerners call it probate but the succession law in Thailand is part of their general commercial code.  Once a petition is filed, the Court ultimately will appoint an executor who ultimately would have the power to transfer title to assets of the decedent.

It’s not a quick or easy process. Must wait for the probate to be completed, even if he had a will. It took well over a year to get anything sorted when one of my friends friend passed away, and he was the executor. Lots of hoops and hurdles. Good luck.

As stated by others you must go through probabe to appoint an executor of the estate who has the legal right to dispose of assets of the decedant.  If there is a will this should be followed by the executor.  Applies to physical assets, bank accounts, personal items, etc.  In the absence of a will I am not sure how the executor identifies beneficiaries.
