Question:
A friend of mine was engaged. The vehicle was in both of their names. The plates were titled in her name. She passed away a few weeks ago. There was no lein on the title. Her family will not give up the title of the vehicle to him. On the title, the names were xxx AND xxx, so usually they would need 2 signatures to sell, lein, ect.
Am I liable to pay for damage to someone's car?
Question: Since she has passed away, and there was no named "executor of the state", would he be able to file for a new title? What kind of hassles might he encounter and how do we deal with them?
Is there any websites where you can find out a full detail of a car..?
Thank you for your time.

Car accident, idiot wont pay up?
It's his car, if they come to their senses and give him the title he will need a copy of the death certificate to transfer into his name only, or apply for a new title.yes he can apply for a new one,that's the law in any state,they will have to surrender the title for it ,if not he can apply for another title,but they should give it up,its basically his car right now,good luck i hope this help,s.

Can i go get my car title and downpayment back if i havent signed a contract?
By saying the vehicle was in both their names I assume you mean they are both on the bill of sale? If so, he should be on the title. If he isn't on the title for some reason (in Texas, he would have to be), he needs to contact the DMV in Idaho with a copy of the bill of sale, proving he helped buy the car, and may possibly need to contact a lawyer. But start at the DMV first!I loaned a vehicle; and they will not return the vehicle; what can I do?
he can go to DMV and apply for duplicate title'take copy of death certificate and duplicate title to DMV and they can remove her name.applying for duplicate title negates the previous one,her family cant do anything with it and he has a right to the vehicle since his name is on the title,he can use the police to get it or take possession from another party,since the DMV records are available to the police by internet.i am a notaryI have a valid FL drivers license, but now live in OH.

I would, if I were him, go to the actual tag office for his location .. they would have excellent sources of information about tags.How long do you have to report a car accident to insurance in Florida?
TYpically, is is common knowledge here, that any property belonging to the deceased belongs to their estate. Therefore there may be no way out of a family battle here. There are two options: he can buy out the half of the tag (with family's permission) or he would have to go to an attorney and petition/sue the estate.
An attorney would be a bit expensive, but he would be placing himself in serious legal jeapardy otherwise -- because her family now knows of his intent to receive the whole title, THEY could pre-empt him and swing at him with an attorney and severe emotional manipulation. There have been cases where families have outright LIED and placed a legally-bound restriction on property while the victim just sits around and signs whatever they put on the table under the assumption that things are the way they are because someone appears very serious and 'authoritative' on the matter. Question everything!

If he really wants that car, he either will have to buy her half from the estate, or go before a judge with an attorney.
Because they weren't married yet, there is a sticky situation. But - they were engaged, which is better than 'single.'

He still owns half the car, so they can't just take it. Keep him appraised of the fact that THEY can't do anything with the car while he owns half, and neither can they get anything out of it, because - again - he still owns half the car. The car will depreciate in value over time - so the sooner the half is sold then the more money wither party can get out of the whole car if they theoretically owned all of it and privately sold it. So his offer should be kept in tune with half the appraised fair market value.
Y cant u put insurance on a car you dont own for in michigan?
Furthermore, he should state that he is NOT going to give up his half of ownership unless told to do so by a judge - but we all know folks can't just TAKE property - *he still owns half that car* - that car is either going to be owned by him or owned jointly by him and her estate.
I am 32 and want to learn to drive. confused about insurance?
His best bet is to start up an investigation on who the executor will be -- typically the executor is either the next heir (next of kin, parent, sister, etc.) or the State -- depends on what the law of the state says. A judge is probably best in this situation.
How much does car insurance cost for a 17 year old?
After you have an executor he is to look up the value of the car and make an offer to the estate on half of it. Remember - the tag may be in her name but the car is half his. Stick to that!
Also - you will come across a sticky situation with car insurance - who pays for the insurance? Consider having a chat with the insurance company - they might know a few things... Consider asking the following: "My fiance just died - what can I do about the car's insurance? How does her death affect the insurance registration?" Ask the local tag office the same exact two questions as well - you never know until you ask!
The gist of the situation - go before a judge if you can. Get an attorney! Also - If they were living together as a couple for at least two years - in some states - they could be considered married under a Common Law Marriage clause in the law. Hit the books - look it up! That Common Law clause could automatically make her estate his - typically, marrieds' estates go to surviving spouses if not otherwise specified.
