In most states it depends upon the way the title is worded and in some cases the laws concerning marital property. If the names are separated by the word "and" all parties must agree to the sale of the vehicle. If the names are separated by the word "or" either party can sell the vehicle without the consent of the other. Taking such action would not necessarily make the "seller/owner" immune to being liable for damages to the other party.

Who can sell the car if 2 names are on the title?

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 is no specific designation on the vehicle title the default laws of the state in which the vehicle is titled will apply.


If your fiance and you just bought a car as joint ownership and are now splitting up who keeps the car if both of your names are on the title but his name is listed first but you're making payments?

You could sell the car and liquidate the vehicle. Or transfer title through the local county courthouse to just one of you, but remember that currently both of you are financially responsible for vehicle and the monthly payment is reflected on both of your credit reports-(ie) wether payment made on time or not. It matters not whose name comes first on the title, but how the title is worded. If the names are separated by "and" each person owns the vehicle equally and an equitable arrangement will need to be made, or petition filed with the court for partitioning of said property. If the names are separated by "or" each person owns the entire vehicle and the person who has possession can take the action they so choose. A lending agreement that is joint is owed by both, if only one person is on the loan, but both are on the title the issue of ownership will more than likely have to be decided in a civil or small claims court.

If primary owner and cosigner have both their names on the title and primary doesn't pay the payments can you repossess the vehicle The title says or on it.?

If there are two individuals listed on the title of a vehicle as primary and joint, they are both responsible for the payment of the loan. If the primary defaults on the payment, the joint owner is responsible for payment. If both parties default, the vehicle can be repossessed.


If there are two names on an automobile title is one primary and one secondary?

No, both names hold equal value. If the title says name one OR name two then either one can dispose of the vehicle. If it says AND or just lists the two names, both must sign.
