Soldato
Sadly my uncle passed away a year ago. His family are selling the car to me as they want to keep the car in the family. It's been sat in the garage for a year with expired tax and no MOT until recently.
The car has now been through an MOT so it's road worthy, but the v5c can't be found.
What is the best way to get the registered keeper changed over to me so I can drive it? my tax and MOT on my old car run out at the end of this month, so I was hoping to change my insurance over to the new one prior to that, MOT my old car, then sell it on.
As far as I can see we can either fill in a V62 by post to change the keeper details to me, or they can request a duplicate V5C online (his old house is still in their possession), then fill in the new keeper details on that like you would with a regular person to person sale.
Any advice on this is welcome, it's been a long, long time since I bought a car, much less one in this scenario.
