My Mr. Future – Son – In Law is engaged to be married to My Daughter sometimes next year. My daughter wanted to buy a new car (She has One and works perfect with no problems). She quit her job after the engagement with little or no resources for a new car. Mr. Future son-in law's parents purchased a new car yesterday in his NAME and Title and told their future daughter-in -law that she can drive the car and own it after she pay-off's the loan of $ 27 K or more. The monthly payment for her is nearly $ 500. She has no legal ownership in this car and my Future Son-In - Law made the decisions on this for her. What to expect from this in the future and from the in-laws if she is unable to make one or more monthly payments. If you were in her shoes what would you do.

Well ulitmately they are responsible for the payment. Since it is in his name she is not obligated to it at all!!! I wouldn't worry about that part of it, if she can't pay it they will reposses it and the burden will be on them. They shouldn't have done that without knowing all of her financial situation. They aren't very smart to do that but once they get married it is marital property and he will be responsible for the payment as well. No worries about this!!! I get the feeling you don't like this guy eh?

Personally if l was in her shoes l would stand up for myself and tell the future in-laws and husband that l want to be included in any decisions that are to be made about my future. Why did she quit her job ? Did it have something to do with her fiancee and his parents ? I certainly would not accept the conditions about the new car, l would tell them to keep it and that l am not interested in having anything to do with it. Obviously your future son-in-law does not stand up to his parents otherwise they would not be able to rule his life. If l was your daughter l would get out of the whole situation as l don't believe they will ever have the freedom to live their own lives or make their own choices. There are plenty of nice guys out there who l'm sure would appreciate your daughter so if l was you that is certainly what l would suggest to her. Good Luck.

Tell your lazy daughter to get a job and get her own car. Suppose she makes one payment, totals the car, and stops making payments? Who's left holding the bag? The In-Laws.
She needs to establish her own credit. And take on a little personal responsibility.

She's not responsible for the payments...and if I were you I would make it known that from here on out any major decisions involving my single daughter had to have your final approval...

I wouldn't accept the car. I would never pay out my money for something I had no legal right to. Plus, she is under no obligation to trust that they won't rip the car out from under her if they won't trust her enough to put it in her name. I wouldn't want their charity. I would tell them to shove it where the sun don't shine and I wouldn't marry their son either. He is going to turn out to be a controlling jerk. Just wait and see.

I'd tell them that I did not agree to the purchase, therefore I do not accept the terms of the purchase. And I would never set foot in that car.

If it were me I would tell them no way. It's in his name and you want me to make the payments? then even if she pays it off and doesn't miss payments it's legally his! it doesn't matter who pays the payment it's who's name it's in. give her some advice and tell her not to accept it. She isn't legally responsible for the payment since it's not in her name and it will never be hers even if she pays it off.

IF I were in her shoes -- I would NEVER take the keys -- REFUSE to have that car in MY garage or driveway, and just TELL them I DO NOT WANT IT or the payments or anything else!
This is a DISASTER in the making -- and ... very ABUSIVE and CONTROLLING.

i personally wouldn't allow my fiancee to make any type of decision like that for me. and i would think it was weird that his parents basically bought a new car for me.....
