I have my deceased partners car in our drive.

It cannot be seen from the road,'

I presume it can sit there till the road tax runs out .I cannot find any road tax documents in my partners papers,so don't know when it does expire.

The same applies to the Motor Insurance.

What happens when the road tax/insurance expires,am I then required to SORN it?

If it was SORN'ed,would that stop me selling it,once the car is part of my late partners estate.

I don't drive.so selling it(eventually) would probably be my best bet?

Over to you guys.

Thanks,Gordon.

I'm sorry for your loss Nosey.Check the MOT by entering the reg here. Then you can see what time you have between now and selling it. https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-status

I have trawled through my late partners computer,but to no avail.

As his brother has now taken responsibilty for his estate,all I can do really is offer him support (via the Internet)as he lives 245 miles from me (East Sussex to Yorkshire)

He can find out the name of the insurance company here

You have checked emails for anything from the insurance company?
