Any person who owns a motor vehicle, off-road vehicle, snowmobile, or boat as defined in § 32-3A-2 , may submit to the department an application to provide for the transfer of the property upon the person's death or the death of the last survivor of a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship by designating on the certificate of title a beneficiary to whom the property will be transferred on the death of the owner or the last survivor. A trust may be the beneficiary of a transfer on death certificate of title. The certificate of title must include the name of the owner, the name of any joint tenant with the right of survivorship, and the designated beneficiary of the transfer on death. A beneficiary may be designated on the certificate of title only if all owners of the property provide written approval on the application submitted under this section.
