If if color title was not changed over from previous owner and previous owner went and got the car that I have the title what can I do about the previous owner getting my car when I have the title but still in his name
You and the previous owner can draw up a title. Just get it notarized and it has to be legal.
It would be the previous owner's loss.
Contact the executor of the estate of the person who died and ask for the title. You should have never taken possession and paid for the car without receiving the title.
If you have the car,a reciept from previous,and the title in the previous name,it is legally your car.The previous owner may become charged with a class one felony.If you can show the state Liability was released to you upon sale to you,DMV may prosecute the previous owner for theft.
Contact the Department Of Motor Vehicles in your state and they can give you the details on finding the previous owner. IT WILL NOT BE FREE You can do a title search if you have the VIN.There is a form and the fee is $20. It will show you who the last titled owner was.

The previous owner will have the title, if he or she owns it free and clear. Otherwise, the bank or loan agency has possession of the title until the balance owed to them has been paid off, and will show them as leinholder. Never ever purchase a vehicle without obtaining the title from the previous owner(s). It is their responsibility to obtain this FOR you, not the other way around. If you purchased and are restoring a non-running vehicle , just take the recept with a note from the owner to Motor vehicles and file for a lost title. This often happens with an estate purchase.

you will need to go to the bmv and file for lost or stolen title, it title is in previous owners name, how to transfer in my name if owner is deceased.
If there is a lien holder they must sign off as well. If not, you will be the sole owner and any previous irrelevant. Who is on the title is who needs to transfer.
