TWIL: What a Colossal Pain Probate Is


Last week someone at the Department of Transportation said all I needed to get ownership of David’s car was the title, a notarized form saying I own it, and a death certificate. She sounded knowledgable.

When I returned an equally knowledgable person said, no, you need an “Odiedo” form filled out by the local Police (!) in Albuquerque attesting to the odometer reading. And the last thing was that even with the notarized form, I don’t have the final thing that says I own it, which is the statement signed by the judge.

Search your hearts, people. Do you have a car? If so, do you have a will? Will you ever die? An easy transfer of a car requires a will. It’s just ridiculous.
