HD 910 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to simplifying processes at the Registry of Motor Vehicles for surviving spouses and next of kin

HD 910 simplifies vehicle title transfers for surviving spouses after a spouse's death. It allows surviving spouses to apply directly to the Registry of Motor Vehicles with a death certificate to get a new title removing the deceased spouse's name, without needing court probate. The bill requires a sworn affidavit confirming the vehicle wasn't disposed of via will, using a form provided by the Registry. This directly affects surviving spouses inheriting a vehicle owned under a lease agreement, streamlining the process from previous requirements.
