If you agreed in your settlement to give them possession and or salvage rights on the vehicle, then "Yes", they certainly can take it based on that agreement whether or not you susequently withheld the title. They can always apply for a replacement title if needed based on your settlement agreement. A power of attorney is not necessary.

If you intentionally tried to encumber that companies ability to take possesion of the vehicle after you agreed and accepted the settlement offer and have received the agreed compensation, then you are actually illegally depriving them of their salvage rights and could possibly open yourself up to legal issues involving theft by conversion.

yes and no, they can (if they got permission from you) move the vehicle to a storage free location...they cannot however, dispense the salvage (sell the vehicle) until they have the required forms/titles from you.....

An accident Attorney.

If you co-sign for an car loan and the car registration and insurance are in only your name and you make all of the payments and you have possession of the vehicle does the other person have any right to take the car?

You are confusing me. The primary borrower should have the registration, insurance, and possession of the vehicle, not the cosigner. I am currently going through a situation where I cosigned for a car for my sister. Due to her lack of making payments, I have hired an attorney to try to obtain possession of the vehicle. Both her and I are listed on the registration/title as 'or'. She has possession of the vehicle, the registration (which I obtained a copy of from the Motor Vehicle Office) and carries the insurance. My attorney tells me although I am on the title, registration, and loan, in oder to 'take' the car I have to go to court and have the judge issue a Writ of Possession. This being the case, depending on your state laws (I am in Florida), the other person would likely have to go to court to get the Writ of Possession to take the vehicle from you. I have learned the hard way (I am quite jaded because of this experience) the person who has the car in their possession has most of the rights - regardless of who is making the payments. Hope this helps. DON'T EVER CO-SIGN FOR A CAR FOR ANYBODY NO MATTER WHAT!!! PLEASE LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES!!!
