Transfer by inheritance
Transferring a vehicle to an heir: certificate of inheritance, inheritance tax, consent of all other heirs, and submission to the DGT. Until the transfer is complete, the vehicle legally cannot be driven or sold. The official DGT fee is paid separately and may be updated — confirm the current amount before submitting. For vehicles under 10 years old, ITP transfer tax is also payable.

Frequently asked questions
Is the price final?
Yes: 160 € — this is the final amount for our work, VAT already inside; we add nothing on top. Billed separately are only external costs — state fees, notary, translations and apostille, where required: we will outline which ones you need based on your situation will be named upfront, before we begin.

We work through your situation based on documents and map out the filing route. If a separate work beyond this, we will flag it and inform you of the cost in advance.
How long will this take?
The honest answer: we will tell you once we know your situation. The timeline depends on authority, region, and its workload, and publishing an average figure on the website we won’t — it misleads more often than helps.
Do you guarantee results?
No, and no one can: the decision is made by the state authority. What we can do is remove the grounds for refusal: correctly the chosen basis, a complete package and properly prepared documents as they are accepted.
