Answer: Potentially. Inheriting a car does not automatically give you insurance to drive it.
The insurer may ask who currently owns the car, who is dealing with the estate and whether you have authority to use it.
Check the MOT, tax and roadworthiness before moving a vehicle that may have been standing for some time.
Do not assume the deceased owner’s policy continues to cover another driver.

BriefCover.co.uk does not recommend a particular policy. Check the insurer's eligibility rules, permitted use, exclusions and excess before buying.
