Specialists in Vehicle Valuations and purchases after bereavement

Compassionate Probate Vehicle Valuations Specialists

Personal, fair support for families, executors and solicitors during difficult times.

Losing a family member, partner or trusted friend is an incredibly difficult and emotional time. Managing the estate after their death makes this time even harder, especially during Probate. Probate is a legal process of administering an individual's estate and can delay access to essential funds. During this time, executors and family members are left with difficult decisions; one of which is how to arrange for the sale or transfer of vehicles.

Common Issues When Selling a Deceased’s Vehicle

Selling a vehicle under normal circumstances can be difficult. Doing so during probate adds further challenges, especially when:

The V5C log book is missing
The vehicle has no MOT, tax or insurance
Finance is still outstanding
The vehicle is not running or stored elsewhere
Service history is incomplete
Ownership transfer is unclear
The vehicle is depreciating in value

Why Trust Chancery Valuations?

Probate can be lengthy, unpredictable, and stressful. Executors are responsible for protecting and distributing assets, but vehicles often depreciate in value and can become a burden; especially when unused. Insurance, storage, and maintenance costs present unwanted costs while you wait for the probate process to conclude. This is where Chancery Valuations offers a solution: quick valuation, hassle-free experience, and instant payment.

Gillian F – Isle of Man

After my father passed away, I was struggling to find a buyer for his car here on the Isle of Man. I came across Chancery Valuations, and the process couldn’t have been easier. I put my father’s car on the ferry, and the company took care of everything from there it was picked up, re-registered, and sold quickly. I received a fair price and was kept informed throughout. Excellent service and a real help during a difficult time. Highly recommend.
