It's legal, but it's strongly, strongly recommended that you not put a car title in someone else's name. Once you do, they own the car. They can choose to keep it, drive it, move it and keep you from operating it. You may think that will never happen, but believe me as someone who works in a police department, we see the complications of this every single day.

Here is how you do this. Get the insurance in the name of the owner and list the people or person who drives the car as a driver. Usually the driver can have a driver's license from another state and or live in another state. Some insurance companies will allow someone to insure a vehicle that they have care custody and control of regardless of who owns the vehicle.

The vehicle must be insured by the person whose name appears on the title. Only the person who holds the title/deed to property has insurable interest in said property, thus they are the only ones who can take out an insurance policy to protect it. If the parents wish to insure the vehicle on their policy, they must have the vehicle re-titled in their name and add the vehicle to their policy. Their son may be added to the policy as the vehicle's principal operator.

Can my 17 year old daughter have her own insurance policy on a car that's titled in my name?
In most U.S. states she can, but that is probably not the best way to insure your teen.Bear in mind that a claimant can sue both the driver and the owner of the vehicle if they have been injured in an accident. If the driver is minor the claimant can sue both the driver and the parent or legal guardian due to parental liability statutes.If it's actually your vehicle and the driver is your minor child, you should purchase the insurance with both your names on the policy so you are both covered in the event of an accident.As a minor your teen would not be able to purchase the policy without a parents counter signature anyways so you might as well insure you both so your not left hanging with no coverage for defense or judgements in a law suit.
Can I insure a car titled under my uncle in Arizona?
The answer to this question is easy and is NO. You cannot insure a vehicle that you do not own. This is very important. If you did this and totaled the vehicle, the insurance cannot pay you for the damages because you do not own the vehicle and they cannot pay your Uncle because he does not have a contract of insurance with the insurance company.
