If a car is in my name but was paid for by my ex, what rights do I have?

Question:
My friend has an ex-boyfriend and his car is in her name, not for his car payments but the title is in her name and she needs to get it out of her name because he won't find another person to put the vehicle in someone else's name. What rights does she have to get the vehicle out of her name? He is really hesitating about this. Help!

Playing Chicken with State Farm Insurance -- Who wins?

If he is driving a car in her name, she is responsible for anything that happens to that vehicle. If he has a wreck, and no insurance, they will go after the assets of the owner of the vehicle. If the vehicle is used in, or found at, a crime scene, they will look for the owner to arrest. If it gets a parking ticket, that isn't paid, they will go after the owner. If it gets towed, only the owner can get it out of the impound yard. I don't often say "Seek legal council" but in this case that is my advice. Your friend is in a situation of way too much possible liability to let this go.

Honda Civic / Accord -- Your High Insurance Quote?

If the car is in her name isn't the loan on the car also in her name
or did he not get a car loan to purchase this vehicle. When the loan is written the person whose name is on the loan is usually the one on the title and registration so she should just sell the car if he doesn't want to take it of her name because technically it is her car.

If the title to the vehicle is in her name, then she is the legal owner of the vehicle. If she doesn't want her name on the title, she can sell the vehicle, thus getting her name off of the title, which will end all of this drama!!

She can still have the vehicle towed to wherever she wants and sell it with the proceeds going to the lender. If her name is not on the loan?

Average Insurance cost for 6 months for 2 cars in Dallas?

Is she the only one on the title? If so, she owns the car all by herself and can do whatever she wants to with it, and he won't be able to do anything, because he has no proof of ownership of the vehicle. What is dangerous, is that if he gets in a wreck, she is going to get sued. So, she can "repo", the vehicle from him, stating failure to transfer the title into his name. Done deal. She can contact law enforcement to help her during the process of getting the car. If he can prove ownership, by way of sales slip, or written agreement, he would still need to prove why the vehicle is registered/titled to someone else. Apparently he has some serious stuff he doesn't want to divulge, I would be concerned with that part.
