Transfer auto title from my brother in NC to LA?

We Answered:

Assuming your brother is the title holder, and the vehicle is free and clear of any liens because of financing, he would sign the title as the seller, have it notarized, and ideally also make out a bill of sale that he is transferring his interest in the vehicle to you at no charge. Many states don't charge for transfers between family members.

You would take those documents to the DMV, where you would get a title issued in your name, and information as to how to get tags on it and get it back on the road. Do not drive it until you have insurance in place of course.

?You must rebuild the car, keeping a bill of sale or titles from all the cars used.
?The car must get a safety inspection.
?The car must pass an emissions test.

acquiring a title in NC help please?!?!?

We Answered:

You won't be able to get an abandoned title. What you will need to do is get a bill of sale from the person that gave you the car. They can write it up that on whatever date they transferred ownership of the vehicle to you. They need to include a vehicle description, specifically the VIN number. Then you need to contact the state DMV where it was last titled, probably whatever state the license plates that are on it are from. Let them know that you own the car now and have a bill of sale. They should be able to help you from there. Usually they will provide you with the name and address of the last registered owner and will want you to at least attempt to get a release from them.

It can be done, but it's not as easy as declaring the vehicle abandoned.

Good Luck!

How do you convert a salvage car title to a clean title?

We Answered:

Are you wanting to go to jail for insurance fraud? There's no way you can turn a salvage vehicle into a non-salvaged vehicle. and believe you me, there's alot of VIN history the general public doesn't have access to...so don't try it, you'll get caught.

Selling a salvage title car in NC with essentially no damage?

We Answered:

Disclose the damage/salvage title issue as you are a great human being and the rest is for the buyer to deal with as they are buying 'as is'.
