Contact the insurance company and DMV.
Tell them the situation, best to be damn honest than trying to get around by
other means.
Just my opinion (but I may be wrong)

Subject: Hypothetical Question
Here's a hypothetical question from a guy I know very well. He
wishes to remain anonymous for obvious reasons.
"Suppose the man's son bought a Triumph from a wrecking/parts
yars in 1990 unknowing that it was a stolen vehicle. He has the
intention of restoring it. The son died in 1991 having left the car in
its sad state. No receipt can be found for the car, although the father
knows where it was bought and for how much.
The father now wants to restore the car, but when checking with
the motor registry department (in Canada) finds the car is still listed
with the RCMP and insurance company as "Stolen-insurance write off"."
How would you approach this theoretical, hypothetical question?
Cheers, Fred
