If there's even the slightest doubt in your mind as to the legality of something you're about to do, you can save yourself a lot of trouble by checking with an attorney first.
If someone illegally has your property, it's usually legal for you to reclaim it providing that you don't break any laws in the process. That second part is important, and why I recommend talking to an attorney.
Reposession laws are, basically, what you're describing here. Repo men are allowed to "break into" the car and take it. However, they are not allowed to break into a garage and take the car (even if the garage isn't actually locked), or to commit criminal trespass.

Does a person who buys a new or used car become the cars rightful owner?
No, the owner is the person who's name appears on the title. If you buy the car and then it is titled in someone else's name they are the legal owner of the car.
Is it legal to take cars if the titles are in your name but you dont have the cars?
Based upon your states laws, most show the ownership of a vehicle through the title. If the title is in your name and does not state and joint ownership with another name then you have rights to take possesion of the car.
If the title to a car is in your name but the name for the car loan is in someone elses name who has legal ownership?
If only your name is on the title and the loan is not listed as a lien on that title then you are the legal owner. If someone else obtained a car loan for you then their name should be on the title to the car with yours. The question of ownership should be addressed if someone was kind enough to borrow money for you to have a car. The car should have full insurance coverage in case of an accident.

Is it legal to use a band's name for a book's title?
You should check weather the band's name is trademarked or not. If it is, then no, you cannot use its name for a book title. If not, go right ahead. Although it's not very original or creative to use someone else's name.

Can you sell a camper that is titled in someone else's name in new york state?
Unless you have THAT person's Power Of Attorney, no, not legally. The title is legal proof that the vehicle is owned by someone else.
If you buy the car can it be registered in someone elses name?
No. Whoever's name is on the title is going to be on the registration and insurance also. You can pay for the car and title it in somebody elses name, but at that point you've given them a free car, because you have no legal rights to the vehicle at all.
Can you put a lien on a car if you have the title?
That would be counterproductive if the title you hold is in your name. If you are holding the title for someone else, a lien would only make a difference when they sell the car--and it has to meet certain criteria.AnswerNo. You cannot place a lien on your own property legally since there is no separation of title. A lien gives the lien holder a legal interest in the property of another. If you are holding property in your name for someone else, the title is in your name and you cannot place a lien against it.
