VSA-24 Certification of Authority to Transfer Virginia Title (Fillable PDF)

The VSA-24 – officially titled Certification of Authority to Transfer Virginia Title – is the legal document the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires when a vehicle owner has passed away and there is no executor or administrator appointed for the estate. This fillable PDF lets heirs complete the form quickly, securely, and without printing.

When Is the VSA-24 Form Required?

Use the VSA-24 when all of the following apply:

• The vehicle is titled in Virginia.
• The owner (decedent) is deceased.
• There will be no formal estate qualification, and no executor or administrator has been appointed.
• The heir(s) need to transfer the title to their name.

Key Sections of the VSA-24 Form

The form is divided into four main sections:

1. Vehicle Information – VIN, make, model, year.
2. Decedent Information – name, date of death, residence at time of death.
3. Heir Certification – statements confirming the heir’s right to transfer the title and that debts are settled or the vehicle is part of a family allowance.
4. Consent to Transfer Title – signatures of all parties with a legal interest in the vehicle.
