Sorry I made my point badly. Signing the log-book does not transfer beneficial ownership of a car from one signatory to the other. Beneficial ownership is transferred to the new owner via a bill of sale or some such documentation.
. Excuse my own lack of knowledge on the matter so do I take it that although the log book was signed etc...that this does not necessarily mean that friend x can take ownership of the car?

On its own, possession of the log book, signed or otherwise does not necessarily transfer beneficial ownership.Thanks Mathepac. Excuse my own lack of knowledge on the matter so do I take it that although the log book was signed etc...that this does not necessarily mean that friend x can take ownership of the car? ...
A note, a letter, an email saying "I sent the signed log-book to Shannon today. Enjoy the car, it served me well. Regards, The Old Owner" or "I got the logbook in the post from Shannon today. Thanks for looking after that so promptly, Regards, The New Owner." or a receipt "Received from The Buyer, £2-4s-6d for 99-D-12345, signed the seller or a car for sale on adverts or done deal with and Offer and Accepted transactions or a Sold notice displayed.... What 'other such documentation' might you be referring to? ....
i said bill of sale or "other such documentation". Why does it need to be in writing? Because contracts usually are, even simple ones.Why does it have to be in writing with a bill of sale?
That is incorrect. Signing the logbook does not necessarily transfer ownershipSurely the fact that the person who is now deceased signed the car legitimately over is enough to end this matter...
It seem's that no transfer of ownership document was signed. The logbook is not a transfer of ownership document.... and signed the transfer of ownership documentation to that effect. ...
Selective quoting in order to back up a claim that what I said is incorrect is poor form.... That is incorrect.
In all probability there is no logbook for a vehicle with a value of €9k; the key document is the vehicle registration certificate, and that document includes a section for recording change of ownership which should be signed by the person transferring ownership. Taken in conjunction with other things, such as handing over the keys, it can amount to proof.Signing the logbook does not necessarily transfer ownership
