Can I gift a share or pass it to my heirs?

Gifts to a verified RYDA member: yes, with a transfer of the membership interest. Inheritance: yes, your share passes to your estate per your will or trust, then to your heirs after they verify.

Lifetime gifts

You can transfer a share to a family member as a gift, but the recipient has to clear RYDA's standard verification (KYC + clean driving record) before the transfer completes. The 3% transfer fee is waived for first-degree family transfers (spouse, children, parents, siblings).

Inheritance and estate transfer

When a co-owner dies, the share is part of their estate and passes per their will or trust. The estate can either transfer the share to another verified member (transfer fee waived for estate transfers) or hand it to a named heir. Heirs must complete RYDA verification before the share transfers.

If no heir wants it

The estate can list the share through RYDA for transfer to another verified member. Transfers can take 30–90 days depending on member demand. There's no guaranteed buyer.

Talk to your estate attorney about how to title the share. Many members hold shares through a revocable trust to simplify transfer at death, RYDA accepts trust ownership.
