Vehicle owners can name beneficiaries outside probate
Beginning July 1, 2025, Wyoming vehicle owners can name beneficiaries to receive their vehicle outside probate after death. All owners must sign a notarized form and record it with the county clerk where the vehicle is titled. The form lists all owners, the vehicle’s make, model, year and identification number, and “transfer on death to” each beneficiary. Ownership passes only when the owner, or last surviving owner, dies. To get a new title, beneficiaries must provide the recorded form or a copy, a certified death certificate, and the required title application fee. Existing sale contracts, assignments, liens, and other ownership or security interests remain in effect. While owners are alive, vehicle transactions do not need a beneficiary’s signature or consent. Owners can change or cancel the designation only by properly transferring ownership or signing and recording a new designation form. A will cannot change or cancel it. An estate or successor without actual knowledge of a valid, uncanceled designation is not liable for failing to obtain or transfer title under it.
