You will have to have proof of ownership of the vehicle and the title is considered the best method of providing such proof. Depending on the laws of your state there may be an allowance for bill of sale transactions for older vehicles. If you own the vehicle and it is registered in your name, you can get a duplicate copy of the title in a short period of time. If you are not the owner of the vehicle, you cannot be paid for the vehicle in any manner as you cannot insure something you do not own. As a matter of full disclosure, I own and operate a small Independent Insurance Agency for the past 22 years and worked as an agent for direct writers for 3 years prior to that.
