no
you have to go back to original owner and have them apply for lost title
Not usually, once you are the owner of a vehicle and the previous owners name is not on the title, they will usually have rights to that vehicle.
You must have a title to sell a vehicle if the new owner plans to title the vehicle. If you are selling the car for "parts only", and not planning to put the car back on the road, then you can sell it with a bill of sale only. If they want to title the vehicle, you need to go to your local DMV and apply for a lost/stolen title. Once you get the duplicate title, then you can sell the vehicle.
Motor Vehicle Deptment can do a title search for a fee and issue you a new title if it comes back clean.
ONLY if you are listed on the TITLE as co-owner. Othwise you have NO rights to possession, ONLY payment of the loan.
Provide the DMV with a copy of death certificate when you transfer title.
Obtain a bill of sale and the signed title. Take the car and your paper work to the DMV. Pay them lots of money. If the title is lost the owner of the vehicle needs to get it back from the DMV first.
The owner cannot sell the vehicle without signing the original title. A bill of sale is not an official ownership document for any motor vehicle - only the state issue title can suffice for that. You have been duped - and need to return the vehicle to the owner and demand your money back. If they refuse, you may have a claim to stake in small claims court. Without that original title (which the owner obviously does not have) ownereship cannot be transferred to another person, especially without the lien holders signature. The agency holding the lien is the only one who can offer this vehicle for sale as they hold the title. If the registered owner cannot provide you with that original title of ownership, then they don't own the car at all and it is not theirs to sell in the first place.
as long as you physically have the title in your possession and its in your name and they haven't signed the back, you are still the legal owner. A title company would have to give proof of your financial obligation to them
You never sign the back of a title until you sell the vehicle.
In most states, you have to sign the back of an Illinois title in front of a Notary Public. This is true if you sell to a dealer or its a private sale.
Why would you buy a vehicle from someone who does not have clear title? Take the vehicle back to the person who had no right to sell it in the first place and get your money back. They did not meet all the terms of the contract in that they failed to provide clear title; therefore, the contract of purchase and sale is null and void. Next time ensure that the person who is selling you a vehicle, actually owns the vehicle. Good Lord!
