Answer: It may be possible, but an estate vehicle can be more complicated than an ordinary borrowed family car.
Make sure the executor or person dealing with the estate has authority to let you use the vehicle.
Confirm tax, MOT and roadworthiness before driving it.
Insurance does not itself give you permission to use property belonging to an estate.
Check short-term car insurance options
BriefCover.co.uk does not recommend a particular policy. Check the insurer's eligibility rules, permitted use, exclusions and excess before buying.
