GA DMV Form T-20 Affidavit of Inheritance

Form T-20 Affidavit of Inheritance is used by individuals who have inherited a motor vehicle and need to transfer ownership without going through the typical probate process.

When a person inherits a motor vehicle from a deceased relative or friend and wishes to transfer ownership without going through the probate process, Form T-20 can be used. This form helps simplify the process of transferring the vehicle's title to the heir or beneficiary.

Form Structure

This form involves the heir or beneficiary, the deceased vehicle owner's estate, and the Georgia Department of Driver Services. It typically consists of sections for providing information about the deceased owner, details of the inheritance, and a declaration by the heir or beneficiary.

The important fields on this form include information about the deceased owner, the vehicle's details, and a statement affirming the inheritance and the heir or beneficiary's eligibility to inherit the vehicle.

How to Fill Out and Submit the Form

When filling out Form T-20, the heir or beneficiary should provide accurate and complete information about the inheritance and their eligibility to inherit the vehicle. The completed form is submitted to the Georgia Department of Driver Services to facilitate the transfer of ownership.

It's important to ensure that all requirements and eligibility criteria for inheritance are met before using this form, as it allows for a simplified transfer of ownership.

Form T-4 Affidavit of Non-Use is an alternative form used when a vehicle is not in use and the owner wants to avoid registration fees. Form T-20, however, is specifically for transferring ownership due to inheritance.
