Want this question answered?
my girl friend sind my title but never went to the dmv to get it in her name she gave me the title back and now i have to sell it whAT DO I DO
Both people own the car. If the names on the title show John Doe "and" Jane Doe, the title must be signed by both John and Jane before it can be sold. If it shows John Doe "or" Jane Doe, only one signature is required to be able to sell it.
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 "/."
If it is signed by the origanal owner and no one else has signed it yes you can sell it to a junkyard.
No, what you have is an "open" title and the owner, him or herself must be present to sell the vehicle. You should have obtained a vehicle power of attorney, and left the title un-signed until it was sold. However, The Modified Notary Certificate of Default Method: is a VERY EFFECTIVE legal technique to receive rights to the title!
Absolutly. If the title is in both names it will be required that the other party "sign off" the title as you will need to sign off the title too when you sell or trade in the car.
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
If the previous owner signed the title over to you and your name is listed as the buyer then yes you must title it first before anyone else can title it.
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.
Well, did you pay for it? If the title is in your name and you haven't signed it over to anyone, it is yours. You can repo it, sell it or whatever else you need to do with it.
If you have already signed the title over to a seller who did not buy the car and you wish to sell it to someone else, you will need to either get a new copy of the title from your state department of motor vehicles (DMV) or obtain a form to supersede that signature. How and what is required will vary from state to state and very likely you will have to pay a fee or fine for doing so.
