It depends on the Motor Vehicle laws of the State the vehicle is in. In New York, you cannot register a vehicle unless the Title is presented at the time of registration. The Bill of Sale is worthless without a vehicle title
You can transfer with a duplicate title depending on the reason. If you bought the car, you can use a duplicate title "IF" you have a bill of sale. If it is a family member's car, you might want to take them with you to the DMV.
The bill of sale would be the receipt from the pawn shop where you purchased the motorcycle. You fill in the buyer info on the title.
You may move it from the point of sale to your home with a Trip Permit (that is valid for fifteen days), after the initial permit expires, you must obtain a new permit (valid for three days) every time you plan to move the vehicle.
In automobile transaction, it requires a bill of sale and a signed title.
Yes, but the buyer cannot drive away with it until the title is signed over. You can seal the deal by giving him a bill of sale which is legally binding if you both sign it. This ensures the buyer that the deal has been made and the title is his once it arrives.
A bill of sale for most states should allow you to drive the vehicle to and from the DMV - if the registration is current you can chance driving the vehicle around until you get new plates in your name - if the vehicle is already in your name file for a duplicate title - if the vehicle is not in your name but was abandoned - file for an abaondned title and the DMV will send a letter to the last known owners.
That is fairly simple, complete a Bill of Sale stating that the purchase was 0.00, then transfer title with the forms found at the link below;http://www.chattelmortgage.net/Illinois_mobile_home_Forms.html
The person who the title is assigned to needs to sign the title over to you. You will also probably need a bill of sale to transfer ownership and there will need to be a dollar amount, so you can put down $1 to keep the taxes down. However I would call your local department of motor vehicles to see if you can transfer the title without a sale.
The private seller holds the title until paid in full, he should transfer the title to private buyers name and place a lien on title then the title will be mailed back to the private seller and once vehicle is paid the seller signs off on the lien and mails the title to the buyer. A contract/bill of sale should be signed by both parties to the payment agreement established for the protection of both parties.
Typically you would need a bill of sale or something indicating a transfer of ownership to you. Then go to the DMV and file for a lost title. If you have no way to acquire a transfer of ownership/bill of sale and the vehicle wasn't left to you in a will, I believe the state gets control of it. Check with your local DMV.
Well. the short answer is you don't sign a bill of sale until you look at the title. If it's a private party sale, probably not much you can do. Live and learn.
