I too have found DOL for a very long time to be remarkably casual about transferring titles to a dead person’s automobile. I’ve never needed a Form K. (I actually checked the thread because I thought it was about a misnamed Schedule K-1!) I have seen it on the EPVC page of the King Co. eFile page. I am pretty sure you can order them directly that way without having to present anything in Ex Parte. <div><br></div><div>John J.

<p class="MsoNormal">Weird—20 years ago I used to get Form Ks but then I had the same experience you have—clients kept reporting that DMV changed title with just a death cert and sometimes Letters and/or a copy of the Will. So I haven’t ordered a Form K in
ages, and have not had a problem.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In King County, I do know that you can order Form K via Ex Parte via the Clerk when initiating a probate; there’s an option to get one at the same time that you ask for Letters. I’m not sure how to get one after the probate is opened, though.
I think you’ll have to call the clerk’s office.<o:p></o:p></p>
