Yes, you can register a car with a lien on it. Once you turn in that title from the seller with the lien on it when you are registering that lien will be recorded over to the title issued in your name.
The lien has nothing to do with registering a vehicle. It has everything to do with selling a vehicle.
A registered owner is the person who has purchased or is purchasing the vehicle for their own use, while the legal owner would be a lien holder like a bank or other financial institution that actually owns the vehicle until it is paid off.
Lien holder is paid first, any balance goes to registered owner.
You can't. If a vehicle has a lien on it the lien holder is the owner of record of the vehicle.
In most states the person who repairs a vehicle has an artisan's lien. An artisan's lien is a possessory lien meaning that a) no recording of any document is required to obtain the lien, however b) the lien is only good while it is in your possession. If you return the vehicle to the owner you have lost your lien. If the owner takes the vehicle without your consent, your lien is not defeated, however, in most states the act of taking the vehicle from you will be considered theft by the vehicle owner.
The only way that a person could register a car in one name and title it to another in CA would be if you put the person who is going to operate the vehicle as the "Registered Owner" and put the other person on as the "Legal Owner" This would mean the person who is listed as the "Lien Holder" would receive the title and the vehicle can not be sold or transferred without the lien holder signing off the title.

only if they have a lien on the the title for any service that you have not paid for. its called a mechanics lien. Even if they have a mechanics lien, they still have to notify the registered owner via certified mail, and give them a chance to pay the bill. You can't just get a title or magistrate's bill of sale without proof that you have done everything possible to contact the owner first. The owner has 30 days to contact the person that has the vehicle. If they don't, then the vehicle can be sold at a magistrates auction and will be given a title for the vehicle.
To find the lien holder of a vehicle, the registered owner of the vehicle will have to apply for a duplicate title. The VIN will be necessary to obtain the duplicate title. The lien holder will be listed on the duplicate title.
Yes, finance companies do it every day
As long as it is where the registered owner of the vehicle legally resides it is legal.
I guess the answer to this question is as unattainable as my truck seems to be. Thanks for trying. Lissa, owner of the vehicle
Now that Ontario has the used car package, you should be aware if any outstanding liens are on this vehicle. However if you purchased the vehicle with a lien still on it you are liable for that lien and the vehicle can be repo'd. If the vehicle was bought through a dealer then they are liable for the lien. Also check the lien to see if it has expired, as this is a case that happens alot. The lien expires but still shows up on the lien search or the original lien has been paid but the lien holder never released it.
The same as before they died. They still hold the lien and it must be satisfied.
