How do you change the title to your car? or have someone else sell your car?

Question:
I'm trying to sell a car which is in my name but I'm not going to be around so I want my little brother to sell it instead. However, because the car is in my name this creates a problem. I was recommended "power of attorney" which I really don't understand how to do it. Or is there a simpler solution I can do by going to the DMV so that my little brother can have the legal right to sell the car?

Answers:

Do anyone know where i can get a decent used car from for under $3000 and no older than 97".?

There are a few things you can do. You can just sign the back of the title. (In some states that is enough for him to fill out the rest of the title.) Other states you will need a written bill of sale with the make, model, VIN, purchaser, date and mileage at the time of sale. Some states require notorization others don't. Do you trust your brother enough to give you the profit on the sale? Personally, I would protect myself and get a signed letter of whatever the car sells for is yours.
You can also have the title put soley in his name. Just go to your local DMV and have them transfer the title. For DMV purposes, you can gift the car and avoid taxes. Most states allow this. And when it is sold, he can sign the title. But again, how much do you trust your brother to give you the money? I would still get a letter saying he owes you for the amount of the sale. But that is up to you.
Transfering the title is about the easiest way to sell your car. Most states, you can get a title only without having to register it.
If you have to keep it in your name because of the plates and insurance, because some states will not do a title only, then signing a bill of sale and the title would be the way to go. But it is hard to give you a definate answer because different states have different rules and regulations. You may want to check with your local DMV and find out what the requirements and options are.

Need to sell my car ASAP?

First of all is your brother at least 18 ? You can fill out a handwritten Bill Of Sale with a witness, and sign the pink slip. That should be good enough. However, I don't think your brother would do that, but handwrite a secondary promisory note that all proceeds go to you and he gets no money. Have him and a witness sign it. Then he can't come bitchin later that he was supposed to get some money or all of it..
