I stored a vehicle at my home and the owner never claimed it.  How do I get a title to sell the car?

Read the contract you signed and see what it says. If there is nothing in it saying they had the right to repo the car, then call the police and report it stolen by the dealership.

Anything is voidable through a specific performance by someone against you, or by your signing a deed over to someone, or through foreclosure, or other legal action.   However  if you obtained title insurance and made sure the deed was properly recorded into your name then it would be hard for someone elce to void the title

That would be the county's recorder. Their site is below. They recommend going through a title company or lawyer though, and don't provide much information, unfortunately. You might get more help if you go to the office in person or call.

Depending on the sellers rating you 'might' have had redress (through Paypal if you had used them) at one stage but because you carried out repairs, that deems you have accepted the vehicle.  If you push the seller, they may accept taking it back (well who wouldnt, you just spent 3k on it).  They are under no obligation to refund money you have spent on it.  The best chance you may have is if you can prove the MOT is illegal and then go after the garage that gave it, again because you have had many repairs carried out, I suspect this would also be an impossible route to prove.\n\nSorry its not better news.

It is best to take it to the dealer you bought it from. Have them show you how.

The local property assessment office should have those records.\n\nYou should always consider Title Insurance before buying, however.

I am not sure I can be of much help, but....\n\nI think the key is why the title is not clear. If it is not clear because you and your spouse owned it and they passed away, then you can get the title cleared in probate court as long as they didn't have a will giving it to someone else. \n\nIf it is not clear because someone else before you didn't get a clear title and there is then some question of who might have a claim to it, then you need to get them to sign off on it. \n\nI bought a house once that took about six weeks for the title insurance company to locate everyone and get them to sign a paper saying they had no interest. It was part of the price of the title insurance. Obviously you didn't buy title insurance or all you have to do is call them and let them handle it. \n\nIn fact that would be a good place to start is to call a title company and ask them if they can help you. I am sure they will charge you a fee that is bigger than it would have been if you just bought it when you were closing. But it might just solve your problem.\n\nIf you are NOT planning on selling and no one is actually claiming it is theirs you will likely be ok. But if you ever do need to sell you had better have finished the process cause it can take a very long time. If a probate court is involved it can be as much as a year!\n\nI am not sure how different it is between a mobile home and a house so you probably want to find out for sure from a lawyer or title company.\n\nGood luck

This is odd because the Title Insurance company should have known about any lien on the house and informed you when you signed the loan papers.  Anyway, it seems the seller wasn't truthful with you.  Any recourse?  Get a lawyer and find out.

I wish I could give you the specific information, but this will at least get you in the right direction.\n\nGo to your county's website and find where you can search the tax assessor records. You should be able to input the property address and find out the owner.\n\nThen, on the same county website, go to where you can search the public records. Enter the name of the owner and you will see all recorded documents. You may be able to find what you need there.\n\nHOWEVER, if you want to know everything, go to a title company and ask them to do a "preliminary title search" on the property. That will give you what you need. Tell them you hope to buy the house and if you do, you will use them for the transaction. They will likely do the title search for free or for a minimal fee.\n\nI hope this helps. I am from Seattle and this is how we do it there.

That's tough, I'm sorry.  \n\nThey should have contacted you prior to auctioning the car off.  They are also to  send you a notice telling you how much the car was auctioned for and how much you owe after the auction.  I'd request proof that they sent you something.  Being a co-signer they can and will go after you just like they would do your mother.  I'd contact a lawyer and see what he/she says.  There may really be no way of getting out from under it.  Some people would suggest bankruptcy, I don't think you should have to go that extreme unless you have other things you need to get rid of.  How's your credit?  Is this car on it as a negative? Maybe you could get a loan to pay the car off, if this is possible ask the collection agency if they'd accept a settlement.  I'd offer a little over half of the balance.  That way this would be paid and you'd have a new positive account (bank loan) to help repair the damage that's been done by the repossessed car.\nGood Luck.

No. The "owner" told you to get rid of it.  Tell the insurance Company to contact the former owner, and don't forget to give his name and address if you have it.\n\nI would also give the owner a bill for storage in excess of $40.00 (say $10.00 per month) for the time it was "stored" on your property.

The laws may difer from state to state etc...I suggest that you call Motor Vehicles and get the answer straight from the source. If anyone would know how to fix this problem legally they would. I'm sure that this has happened to someone else at some time or another.\n If that doesn't work then you are left to think up a clever way to sell it to someone else.

you can get a letter report from a title company.  the tital company checks to see if there are any liens, etc. on the property.

Call the lawyer or the title company who recorded the deed originally. They should be able to help you.

Was the car used...or did it have mileage on it from being a "demo" or a "loaner".  You might want to double check to make sure that the car has an MSO "Manufacturer's Statement of Orgin" .  That is the "title" you get from the manufacture.  When you take ownership, after that, you and everyone else that owns the car would get a true title.  If you received an MSO instead of a title the car would still be considered new.  If it had miles on it they might have used it for a demo (owner or manager or even salespeople get to drive the car since they work there)  or they could have some type of event that allowed them to let someone borrow the car for a while.  Oldsmobile used to let officials from the college world series drive new olds while the series was going on.  When they were finished, Oldsmobile would give credit to the dealers so they could sell the car at a discounted price.  The car was still new but.....had some miles on it.

A motor vehicle has a title, just like a property has a deed. Your co-worker should not enter the vehicle because it is not legally his property, even though it is on his property.\n\nThere are a few options:\n1 he can call the local police and report that there is an abandoned vehicle on his property. they will most likely tow and impound it. \n2:have a storage contract written up and mail it to the owner certified mail. Be sure it states that they property owner is not responsible for damage to the vehicle, otherwise, he could be liable, through his property or homeowners insurance, if something happens to it.\n\nThe gist is, if the RV is titled property, it remains the property of the titled owner until he transfers the title to someone else. Because it is parked on someone elses property, that property owners bears liability for the RV whether it belongs to him or not.
