Ask the person on the title to repossess the car. You may have legal liabilities until the car title is properly transferred.

Another Perspective

A person can't sign over the Certificate of Title if it's not in their own name. That would be fraud and forgery. The person on the Certificate of Title must sign it over to the person in possession. If that is not possible then the title cannot be transferred legally and the person who is in possession of the car will not be able to register it or sell it. You'll just have to forget about it. Ownership of that vehicle is in The Twilight Zone until it is transferred properly.

I bought a car in October and put the title under the name of a friend but we are no longer friends and I want the car back do i have any rights to get it back?

You signed away those "rights" when the title was assigned into the name of the former friend. The only way to revert things back on the title, is for the former friend to "sign off" as owner and for you to "sign on" as buyer - then take the ownership document to your local Motor Vehicle office and have the title legally changed to your name.

Can you add a person to your car title if car was recently purchased and the person you want to add is one of your parents?

You can only have one owner name on a car title. If you have decided that you want it in one of your parent's name, you can sign the title over to them and list the dollar amount as $0 so you won't have to pay sales tax again, only title transfer fees. Unless of course they are buying from you.


Boyfriend cosigned for a car his ex he is paying on it and he is no longer with her She has not made one payment and you want him to get it back She is on the title how can he get her off the title?

She can only be taken off the title if SHE signs the title over to him. There is no other way. If both names are on the title, if name are separated by the word OR that means either can sign title and change the way the names read. If names are separated by the word AND then it requires both signatures to make any changes. If only in her name then she has to sign title. Also if there is a lien holder, there still making payments on it, then typically only the lien holder can authorize the name change on the title.

How can you show the world that you can rap but to afraid to?

Can you take car if you have the title?

No, the bottom line is, the title must have the owner's name. Put in reverse situation, if your car was taken by someone who has your title to the car and the car should not be missing, then you would want the car back even without a title. People lose car title all the time, that doesn't mean they lose the car just because they lost the title and someone picked it up.
