If your friend died before he executed a written will, the property he owned at the time of his death, including his car, will go to his close relatives or, if there are none, to the state. In order for you to get title to the car, absent the consent of your friend's heirs, you will have to go to Court and prove either (a) that your friend had a valid oral or "nuncupative" will in which he left you the car (this is very unlikely, as, in most states, oral wills are valid only in very rare circumstances); or (b) that your friend gave the car to you before he died. If you have no witnesses, it will be difficult for you to prove a gift. However, if you succeed in Court, the Court will issue an order which will allow you to get your name on the title.
