Yes you can either try to get it through your states lost car title with lots of forms and affidavit's. Many of the states you have to go to court and some if you go through all there steps you still do not get the title or you can see the laws in a neighboring state and if they are kinder try it there and transfer it to your state. That is providing they have a rule for doing out of state titling. then there are the title Service company that will do it for you and have several different ways of doing it. be sure to use a guaranteed title service with a money back guarantee.

What is the title insurance?
Title insurance is protection that ensures that you are the proper owner of the property and that if someone comes forward with a valid claim to a portion of your property, the title insurance company may have to pay that person the value of the claim. In buying real estate you have to make sure that the seller truly owns the property in full with no defects in title. The title insurance company reviews the land records to make sure of this. If the company states that the owner is the full owner, it backs its opinion with title insurance. Some title defects might not be covered though, but the lawyer helping the buyer will make sure that it is safe to buy the property.
If a car has finance on it can you still buy it?
Sure. Have owner "order" title to local financing branch. Meet owner at bank, exchange funds and get title. Or, pay the owner amount over the payoff and pay bank or finance company the pay off.

Can you buy a car without the title?
Laws differ from state to state but a trip to the DMV by the current owner can usually result in the title being reissued and sent to the owner within a couple of weeks. Do not buy a car without getting a current title naming the person selling the car. Call the VIN into your state DMV to make sure all is good and only buy a car that is titled locally and is current!
How do you get a title for a vehicle if you buy a car without one?
Call local insurance Companies that do a title bond Buying a car without a title is very foolish. You may have a vehicle that was stolen. You may have a vehicle that was totally wrecked and rebuilt.

What do you do if you buy a car and find that the seller was not the current owner?
Sounds to me like you possibly have a stolen car. Anytime you purchase a used car make sure the title and registration belong to the seller and ask for ID. Better yet, before you buy the car, take the title number and call the DMV to find out who the correct owner is and if the title is clean. Hopefully, you can track the seller down. Good luck!

What can you do if the previous owners of your house refinanced the same day you put in an offer to buy and their loan was not recorded until 3 months later and now you have a lien that is not yours?
Legally, the owner's were not supposed to list their home for sale and then refinance. There is a question regarding this somewhere tied into the mortgage application. I would consult a Real Estate title attorney for assistance in this matter. When you purchased the home, you should have have title work done with a title insurance policy. If you paid cash for the house and you chose not to get this, then you are probably in a world of hurt and will need to sue the previous owners for the money. Assuming you took out a mortgage, you would have a title insurance policy issued. The policy would have required the title company to ensure that the property was free of any encumberances at closing. If the seller took out a mortgage that was not recorded until after the sale, the title insurance policy should pay the lien and then seek damages from the previous owner. If the previous owner was aware that they had a mortgage - which I am sure is the case, then he can also be charged with fraud and even could serve prison time for the offense. I would start by calling the title company where you closed on the house and ask them to get you a copy of the title insurance policy and then call the title policy holder and and explain the situation.
