mvr-317 form questions

Jurisdiction

North Carolina

I am filling out the MVR 317 form. On line 5 there is a section about the martial status if both the individual and spouse are deceased would I check married then add the spouses name and list deceased?

Also is the appraised value listed on the DMV form they send each year the same as true value. If not if I use Kelley Blue Book would true value be the trade in or private party price.

The final question would I need to file a highway use tax exemption certificate for a flat bed hauling trailer.

If that doesn't help, you'll probably need an attorney.

Thanks I have already seen the instructions before just had some specific questions.

No one who posts here regularly is a North Carolina probate attorney (and, AFAIK, no NC attorneys post here at all). Therefore, no one here is likely to be familiar with the form.

With that said, it seems pretty obvious that, if the decedent is not married at the time of his/her death (whether because the decedent's spouse predeceased him/her or otherwise), you check the box for "unmarried," you leave the first line blank, and you name any surviving children in the second blank.

I can't even begin to answer the second question because I don't know what DMV form you're talking about, and your third question seems to be unrelated to the rest of the post and involve highway regulations.

I strongly suggest you consult with a local attorney.

Your state court system allegedly offers citizens of NC instructions for the MVR317.

As posted on the other forum, the value of these vehicles in aggregate disqualifies you from using that form. You're going to have to probate the estate and have the person with the appropriate authority (letters of administration or whatever) transfer the titles on behalf of the estate.

So just do the small estate collection form since the total is under $10,000.

 

[Edjh]

I am thinking the MVR 317 form would also be used in conjunction with the small estate form would this be correct if one heir has already paid the other heir for the vehicle.

Huh? No. The form is for a subset of the small estates where the transfer is trivial and that the DMV doesn't want to have to go look at letters testimentary, etc... You keep changing the story as to the size of the estate and nature of the vehicles. You should contact an attorney before you get into big trouble. Unlike being able to game internet forums, the State of NC has real consequences.
