If it is like other titles, Joan and Tom would mean both have to sign. If it is Joan or Tom, it may be that one person could sell the car. In some states, community property laws have an effect. The best thing is to check in with your State's Motor Vehicle division.
Both parties must agree to the sale and sign the title if the title says "and". If it says "or" you can sell it with just one owner's signature on the title.
It depends on how the owners are listed on the title.If it says Bill and Tom, then both owners must sign.If it says Bill or Tom, then only one has to sign.Hope this helps.
All of the owners of the car have to sign to transfer it or sell it, and that includes donating it.
It may depend on what state you are in, but normally, if the title reads John Smith AND Jane Smith, both parties have to sign. If the title reads John Smith OR Jane Smith, either party can sign.
It depends on how the title is worded. If both names are on it as "or", for example, john smith or jean smith, you do not have to have his signature to sell it. If it is john smith "and" jean smith, both are required to sign it in order to sell it.
From what I've read (I have the same situation) if there is an "AND/OR" on the title, only one needs to sign. If there is no "and/or" both need to sign.
Depends on your state laws. Ask your local DMV for this answer.
You never sign the back of a title until you sell the vehicle.
One signature o buy, two to sell
When a CA title has 2 names on it the way the names are recorded will decide who can sell the vehicle. If the names on the title read "person 1 / person 2" then both parties would have to sign off title to sell vehicle but when the title reads "person 1 or person 2 then only one of the two people have to sign the title in order to sell the vehicle. So basically if the names are recorded with a / (meaning end) between the names then both parties must sell but if the names are recorded with an OR between them then only one person has to sign off title for sale. Other states may be different, so check with your DMV to be sure. In some, "or" is used instead of "/."
for example is the title is signed Julie and Tim than both people have to sign the title, but if the title is signed Julie or Tim than only one has to sign the title.
Yes. But it is titled as Smith AND Jones, both have to sign to sell it. In some cases it may be titled as Smith OR Jones- and either could sell it.
