Could someone advise please

My friend has gifted me her car but sadly passed before things were sorted. She had told her family so everyone knows it above board and her wishes.
She hadn't got round to signing reg doc as her passing although expected was rather sudden. We all thought we had more time

Never heard of this situation and don't know how to proceed

    V5 is not proof of ownership - just fill in the V5 and send it back - put the date of the change when you actually took possession of the car.

    As long as the Executors of the Estate know about this there shouldnt be a problem, unless she had a lot of debt and no assests.
