Simplifies processes at the Registry of Motor Vehicles for surviving spouses and next of kin.

The bill amends the General Laws to streamline the process for surviving spouses and next of kin to obtain a new certificate of title for a vehicle when the other spouse has died. If the vehicle title was held by a lienholder under a lease agreement, the surviving spouse can apply for a new title without the decedent's name, provided they submit a death certificate and a sworn affidavit stating the vehicle has not been disposed of otherwise by will.
