9400 471 Form PDF Details

In the heart of Wisconsin, where the lakes beckon and the trails call, the transfer of recreational vehicles and boats to a surviving spouse transcends mere transaction—it embodies a passage of memories and adventures from one heart to another. This crucial transition is facilitated by Form 9400-471, a document meticulously crafted by the State of Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, aimed at ensuring a smooth passage of ownership under the guidelines set forth in s. 30.541, Wis. Stats. Designed with the utmost respect for personal privacy, this form serves as an affidavit for the transfer of up to five recreational vehicles or boats, including but not limited to ATVs, snowmobiles, and both titled and untitled boats. Integral to this process is the requirement to furnish detailed information about the deceased spouse, the surviving spouse, and the vehicles or boats in question—including their make, year, and approximate value, an indication of the form's thorough approach to safeguarding legal and emotional interests. Moreover, the assertion that boats 16 feet and greater must be titled and accompanied by the title—or an explanation for its absence—reflects the form's adherence to ensuring transparency and legality in the transfer process. Embedded within the commitment to confidentiality is the assurance that any personally identifiable information provided will be shielded from misuse, with disclosures only in alignment with Wisconsin's Open Records laws. This affidavit, complemented by a certification of accuracy and an acknowledgment of the surviving spouse's liability for any outstanding debts associated with the vehicle or boat, is not just a formality but a bridge to a future where the legacy of the deceased spouse continues to thrive on Wisconsin's waters and trails.
