Sorry for the loss of your mother. Since terms of auto insurance policies vary you will need to find out from your mother’s insurance broker or agent in Lawton OK how long you have to change over the car insurance policy and what steps to take to obtain an auto insurance policy for at least your car in your name.

Normally, a car insurance policy terminates upon the death of the policyholder, usually done by the request of the estate.

There are some certain general provisions that are required by state law, but policies can vary. It is essential in your situation to read through the car insurance policy issued to your mother. If you have more inquiries, contact your mother’s insurance agent or carrier for information and clarifications on what the process is now that your mother has passed away.
