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 there are 2 names on a car title with or between them does both people have to sign the title to sell it?
Depends on your state laws. Ask your local DMV for this answer.
What rights does a cosigner have to gain possession of the vehicle if his name is on the title in Pennsylvania?
It depends on what the title says. The title can say "The owner of the vehicle is Name 1 or Name 2." If the title says this then the cosigner has limited rights to get the car. Whoever has the vehicle can sell the car without the cosigners signature. Now if the cosigner has the car, the cosigner can sell the car without the main owners signature. If the title states Name 1 and Name 2, then you have same rights as the main owner of the car. This means if Name 1 trys to sell it, they can't sell it without your signature.
Can you sell a car without the title?
Yes, the buyer needs to know before buying. You can get the money, pay off the car and get the title in the mail within 2-3 weeks. Then sign it over to the buyer. It is suggested that you don't let the buyer take the car until the title is in their hands.
How can you sell a car when there is 2 peoples name is on the title and one of them is dead?
im just guessing - but you will probably have to take the death certificate to registrations and take that person off the title before you sell it.

If a car title lists two names do both people need to be insured if there is only one driver?
Only the driver. When there are 2 names on the title, it's usually because someone helped cosign.
How can you sell a car with no title and get money for it?
If you are the legal owner of a car, have it register, and have simply lost the title, you can apply for a replacement through your state DMV. If you are the legal owner of a car but do not have a title for it, you can sell the car with a bill of sale and the next owner can attempt to a quire a title for it. You will have difficulty selling the car for anything like it's actual value. If you are still paying for the car, and as such haven't gotten the title yet, you can not sell the car as you do not own it, the bank does. Selling a car you are still paying for is fraud as you are selling something that doesn't belong to you. If you do not own the car, but are trying to sell it this is also fraud as you are selling somethign that doesn't belong to you. if u own the car straight out & just trying 2 sell it - all u have to do is go to the department of lic. with the BUYER & sign a "release of interest" form, it has to be notorized so both u & the buyer have to sign it with a notary present - its easy !!!
How long to receive car title in Texas?

If a car title is in the names of a husband and wife does one spouse need the permission of the other to put the car totally in their own name?
I have been car sales for 7 years and Nebraska law is that it takes 1 to buy but 2 to sell. What this means is that you could put a car in say your wife and your name without her permision but to change the title "sell" you both would need to sine the title.The long and short yes you would need the others permision to re-title the car. Just the opposite in Kansas. Traded in a car titled to myself and my wife and bought one titled to myself and daughter. No problem selling the car with only my signature, but could not register the new one without my daughter's signature.
What do you do when you are stuck with a new car you owe money on but no longer want?
You can't return it to the dealership so that option is out. You have 2 options that I can think of. 1) sell the car for what you owe on it or 2) allow the bank to take the car from you. The first option won't hurt your credit, the second will because it is called a "voluntary repossession." If you sell the car, but cannot get what you owe on it, then you should get another loan to pay the difference in sell price and what you owe on the loan. Paying that off is much less than a new car you can't afford. You will have to pay off the car entirely to get the title and sign it over to the buyer. This is why you would need to get a personal bank loan right away if you sell the car, but sell for less than the amount of your loan. Just be sure to give the buyer a 'bill of sale' with both of your signatures on it when you sell the car. This way, they can't back out of the sale once you get the title a couple of weeks later.
