How to legally remove a vehicle belonging to a deceased lodger?

Hello, a licenced lodger passed away in January 2023 and left damage which I had to completely replace and his car is in the allocated parking space. He was separated from his wife since 2019 and she is now the executor of his estate. She has cleared the flat of his belongs.

Four weeks ago, in a text, I requested that she arrange for the vehicle to be removed and that she could arrange for a recovery vehicle to take the car to an MOT garage etc. She replied the vehicle is now SORNED (Statutory Off Road Notification) and she is awaiting the arrival of Registered Keeper documents from the DVLA.

Is there any way I can simply and legally remove the vehicle onto the street or have it hauled away?

Thank you,

Amina

Reb: Yes of course, and I apologise. Your input has been so useful and that of the various comments from members and will use going forward.

I wish I had studied law. In principle everything looks easy until the actual writing in detail and getting it right.
