7712.3 - Transfer of snowmobile or ATV by operation of law.

     § 7712.3.  Transfer of snowmobile or ATV by operation of law.
        (a)  General rule.--If the interest of an owner in a
     snowmobile or ATV passes to another other than by voluntary
     transfer, the transferee shall, except as otherwise provided,
     promptly mail or deliver to the department the last certificate
     of title, if available, and shall apply for a new certificate of
     title on a form prescribed and furnished by the department. The
     application shall be accompanied by such instruments or
     documents of authority, or certified copies thereof, as may be
     sufficient or required by law to evidence or effect a transfer
     of title or interest in or to chattels in such case.
        (b)  Transfer to surviving spouse.--Transfer of a certificate
     of title to a surviving spouse, or a person designated by the
     spouse, may be made without the necessity of filing for letters
     of administration, notwithstanding the fact that there are minor
     children surviving the decedent, if the surviving spouse files
     an affidavit that all debts of the decedent have been paid.
        (c)  Surrender of certificate.--A person holding a
     certificate of title, whose interest in a snowmobile or ATV has
     been extinguished or transferred other than by voluntary
     transfer, shall immediately surrender the certificate of title
     to the person to whom the right to possession of the snowmobile
     or ATV has passed. Upon request of the department, such person
     shall mail or deliver the certificate to the department.
     Delivery of the certificate pursuant to the request of the
     department does not affect the rights of the person surrendering
     the certificate.
