- Q. I have letters of admission limited powers for my mom's estate. Can I have the deed transfered to me? I'm her son
- A: The transfer is accomplished via court Order, not by a Deed. So no, you cannot transfer the property to yourself.

An Affidavit for Transfer Without Probate California Titled Vehicle or Vessels Only (REG 5) form may be used to transfer ownership of a vehicle when the registered owner or legal owner (an individual) of the vehicle is deceased, provided 40 days have elapsed since the date of death of the owner, the value of the decedent’s property in California does not exceed $150,000, and the vehicle is titled in California.
Best of luck with this.
