Yes a minor can be owner of a vehicle. Though it will raise your insurance a lot so, I do not recommend it.
leave note on vehicle
it would be smart if stops the owner from reporting the accident
If owner is away at collage and has the girlfriend sell his car to a minor, without parental consent, the title and registration of the car do not go through DMV and the minor gets into an accident who is responsible?
Yes. However, the minor is subject to the actions of the ward(s) to which the minor is assigned unless emancipated. ( the adult ward can sell the car, or transfer title prior to the minors 18th birthdate without the approval nor signature of the minor ). A better way to transfer the vehicle to a minor would be to title it to an irrevocable trust assigning the minor as benefactor upon reaching the age of majority ( 18).
The owner of the vehicle is usually held liable.
The insurance company is not liable for paying damages. The minor was knowingly breaking the law by driving w/o a license. The parent of the child will be held liable for damages. As will the person/owner of the vehicle if they knew the minor was not a legally licensed driver. If you let an un liscensed/uninsured minor driver your vehicle, your asking for it. If you werent the parent of the minor, they could sue you as well for neglect.
Since the owner or owners can be both be held fully liable for any associated losses or claims related to the operation and ownership of the vehicle. It would be foolish not to protect all listed owners from financial loss.
yes, if the owner of the "non-fault' vehicle is with out it for the time it is being repaired.
So long as the owner knows his responsibility as the vehicle owner and makes sure all drivers are listed on the policy then there is no problem.
Most companies will not allow a minor to purchase an auto policy because they are not a legal adult and an insurance application and policy together make up a legally binding contract. This is also why a vehicle should not be listed as the titled owner of a vehicle. They cannot legally sign documents to purchase or sale a vehicle.
You would need to take either the parents of the minor or the owner of the vehicle to court.
Yes, a minor can own a vehicle in the state of Pennsylvania. "Pennsylvania law does not dictate a minimum or maximum age for owning/registering a vehicle. However, you should check with your insurance company to see if they have any restrictions regarding an owner's age."http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/faq/faq-title_vr.shtml#Q02
