If the titled owner is deceased and no one has qualified as administrator or executor of the owner's estate, a transfer may be made by a legatee or distributee. The legatee or distributee shall present to the department the original certificate of title, a copy of the decedent's death certificate, and a statement to the effect that there has not been or is not expected to be anyone who qualifies as executor or administrator. The statement shall contain the name, residence at the time of death, and date of death of the decedent, and the name of any other person having an interest in the vessel or outboard motor for which the title is to be transferred. If these persons are of legal age, they shall indicate in writing their consent to the transfer of the title.
