I am selling a car for a widow that is no longer able to drive and the car has not been driven for 6 months. Will she need insurance to sell the car?

Thank you for your inquiry. She will not need insurance merely to sell the car. However, she would not be able to allow someone to test drive it since it would not have coverage. Almost every state requires you to have auto liability insurance. All states also have financial responsibility laws. This means that even in a state that does not require liability insurance, you need to have sufficient assets to pay claims if you cause an accident. For that reason, she may consider buying an insurance policy.

You can get a car insurance quote here to see how much it would cost.
