Probably depends on your State of residence but in Iowa, no. How can someone who is not the owner of the vehicle assign ownership of it to anyone else? In Iowa you and your spouse would have to be listed on the title with the word "or" between your names in order for her to sign complete ownership rights over to another person. If the word "and" is present it would take both of your signatures.
If you want the title to be transferred the owner listed on the Certificate of Title is the only one who can sign it over. If they won't sign then you cannot take over ownership of the vehicle.If you want the title to be transferred the owner listed on the Certificate of Title is the only one who can sign it over.

You sign the title where is shows seller and fill in the information of the buyer and have them sign as buyer. Its a good idea to make a copy of the title (front and back) just in case the buyer doesnt title it right away so you can prove that you sold it if you get a tax notice.
Yes, he will sign under Seller and you will sign under Buyer. Some states require a notary public to witness and notarize the signatures, If it is so in Illinois, it would be best to wait to sign in front of the notary public, If notarization is not required, it's ok to sign and then transfer the title. If you are not a car dealer, you sign on the front of the title (in Illinois) in the area under "assignment of title".
Without the title you can't prove ownership. You can go to the department of Motor Vehicles and ask for a replacement title if it was registered in your name. If you never had a title for it you can have a title search done and contact the last know owner and request they sign over ownership. In many states it is illegal to sell something like this without a title.
Any title holder must relinquish ownership by signing the title release
In some states, the Seller of a can sign a special DMV form which transfers ownership where there is a lost title (Transfer of Ownership and Request for New Title). This document must be signed by the last owner of record and does NOT have to be notarized.
You signed away those "rights" when the title was assigned into the name of the former friend. The only way to revert things back on the title, is for the former friend to "sign off" as owner and for you to "sign on" as buyer - then take the ownership document to your local Motor Vehicle office and have the title legally changed to your name.
You need to obtain a duplicate registration ownership title for the vehicle. As the seller, you need to sign this vehicle over to the new owner - this cannot happen in thin air ... must sign the document and it alone.
LEGALLY, you can't repossess anything from the owner. Once that person signed the title, its half theirs. you will have to take him/her to court with probable cause, or convince them to sign away ownership. Good luck
When the owner of a car signs the title, it becomes and open title, and the holder of the title is the owner of the car. When selling a vehicle, the owner should not sign the title until they have the money because if the buyer has possession of the open title and the vehicle, they can clam ownership.
When you have been paid in full, and you have no liens on the title yourself (you have full title), then you can sign the back of your title. This gives title to the person you name on the back. When the person is paying you on time, then this is different--be sure to take the title down to DMV yourself with the buyer and change the title to his name BUT ALSO put a lien on the title. This means the person cannot sell or otherwise dispose of the car without paying you. Another benefit is that the car is no longer your responsibility to insure. Absolutely do not sign the title transferring ownership until you have cash in hand.
no, if you have the title signed to you it is yours.
