Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Re: 2 years later...

And to add to the discussion about removing yourself from the title/registration, (at least here in California) IMMEDIATELY on selling a vehicle, even as a trade, fill out the Release Form, copy it for your records, and mail it a.s.a.p. to the DMV. If any info is missing, such as full name, FULL address ect. they can reject it as if it was never submitted. A long gone car can come back and bite you for unpaid tickets, storage, impound, towing, police investigation, accident liability and many more fun fun fun things that will cost you in time if not money!

I would think your only recourse would be to take the executor of the estate to court. I am afraid that car still legally belongs to the estate. Of course it would had been a lot easier if you would have done this two years ago when the estate was still open. I know when you got a piece of paper you think the car is yours but I know you guys remember the story of the truck driver I used to work with that bought a 57 Chevy from a guy. He got all the paper work for it so he started working on it. A couple of years and 10 to 15 thousand dollars latter he decided to get it transferred over to his name only to find out it had a lien against it. He went to the loan company to pay off the I think $2,000 loan only to be told they would only deal with the guy who took out the loan. That person was in jail and told the guy I worked work he didn't give a crap. So it was soon after that the loan company sent a wrecker to haul it away. I think he went to court or at least saw a lawyer about it. He was told the only thing they could do was to order the guy who was in jail to give him the $2000 he paid for it back. The last time he saw the Chevy the manager of the loan company was driving it. I just can't say how important it is if you buy a car make sure you get it your name right away.On the same line if you sale one make sure it is out of your name. Ask my son how a car that he sold for $500 cost him a couple of thousand to get out of the legal problems it caused him.

Ohio wont do it, they say the paperwork I got when I purchased the car was filled out incorrectly and not by the proper person. Apparently the executor of an estate cannot legally transfer their abilities to another person and have someone else do the work for them.
