We brought the car to a new state, signed the back of the old title, then the car was involved in an accident and totaled and we have already gotten a total loss check for it. Now the insurance company says we need to change the title to be titled in the new state. Is this possible? The form says it must be inspected to get the title, but if we no longer have the car how can this work?

The car was just changing ownership within a family, but to a new state, so the back was signed by the new owner. then the acciedent happened. we got an insurance check already, and now they are saying it has to be retitiled in the new state. the insurance company is sending the title back to us to try to get the dmv to change the title to this state. The car is probably in a salvage yard somewhere, but the last we saw of it was over three weeks ago.

Who has the car? I assume the insurance company who has given you the check? Call them and tell them you will send them the signed title and they can transfer it since they have the car.
If they say no to that, ask them what you are supposed to do.

If the insurance company took the vehicle after the total loss, you should just have to send them your title. You shouldn't need to retitle it in another state just to send it to them. They are just going to transfer it to a salvage title anyhow to get rid of it.

You cannot retitle the car without it getting inspected. Is the car at a junkyard or what,where is it? Why did you sign the back of the old title?Please be more clear, I would like to help you solve your dilemma.
