9 When the owner of a vehicle is deceased, the vehicle may be
10 operated by or for any heir or personal representative of the
11 decedent for the remainder of the current registration period
12 and throughout the next following registration period, provided
13 that the registration is renewed in the name of the decedent's
14 estate as otherwise required by this chapter. Registration may
15 continue to be renewed thereafter in the name of the decedent's
16 estate by any person entitled to the family exemption until the
