You'll need your grandfather's current registration and title if your have it. Probably a copy of his death certificate. Even though the truck isn't running he'll most likely have to register and insure it, not to drive it but just to make it legally his in the states view. He should do this asap especially if his or his heirs intention is to ever fix it or sell it. Even junking it will be easier if it's legally his in the eyes of the state and that's best accomplished with a registration. Sorry about your loss.

Does he have a POA? The POA can technically sell the car to you and sign over the title.

r/dmv can be really helpful. Be sure and include “RI” in the title.

Recently just went through this. Called the DMV and the woman there was very nice and sent over all the documents we needed to fill out and gave us a list of what we'd need to bring. She even set up the appointment for us.

Reddit wouldn’t exist if people used google instead of relying on strangers to google for them.

There's a form that you can fill out on the DMV website that you can gift someone a car. I would assume you would have to have it registered to your brother.
