A person who gets money and property left by a deceased person is usually referred to as the heir. In most cases, people with a lot of wealth usually write a will of how they would wish their wealth to be distributed.

You can receive money left to you in a will by following the instructions laid out in the will, such as contacting the executor of the estate or the probate court.

How do I get the title of a car owned by a deceased relative?

The property (including a car) of a deceased person is called the person's "estate". If the person has left a will then the person appointed in the will to "execute" the person's wishes (as set out in the will) is responsible for passing title of the car to the person it has been left to. If there is no will then the laws of your country/state will appoint someone to administer the estate and to whom the persons estate should be distributed. If you have a valid claim on the estate you should contact this person.
