If my uncle passed away and had a motorcycle, what is the process of getting the title out of my uncle’s name and into mine?

He did not have a Will. My father, who is in charge of the estate, lives in another state; I live in a third state. My father does not want the motorcycle and he wants to give it to me.

I am so sorry for your loss.  If your Father is the fiduciary of the estate he has been named executor or administrator, correct?  Then he has to be very careful about what he does with the assets and that he disposes of them according to the Will or intestacy statute and probate law in the state in which your Uncle resided at the time of his death.  Executor's can transfer title.  Just make sure that your Father is making decisions that are in the best interest of all potential heirs at law.  Good luck.
