My friend has an ex-boyfriend and his car is in her name, not for his car payments but the title is in her name and she needs to get it out of her name because he won't find another person to put the vehicle in someone else's name. What rights does she have to get the vehicle out of her name? He is really hesitating about this. Help!

If he is driving a car in her name, she is responsible for anything that happens to that vehicle. If he has a wreck, and no insurance, they will go after the assets of the owner of the vehicle. If the vehicle is used in, or found at, a crime scene, they will look for the owner to arrest. If it gets a parking ticket, that isn't paid, they will go after the owner. If it gets towed, only the owner can get it out of the impound yard. I don't often say "Seek legal council" but in this case that is my advice. Your friend is in a situation of way too much possible liability to let this go.

Is she the only one on the title? If so, she owns the car all by herself and can do whatever she wants to with it, and he won't be able to do anything, because he has no proof of ownership of the vehicle. What is dangerous, is that if he gets in a wreck, she is going to get sued. So, she can "repo", the vehicle from him, stating failure to transfer the title into his name. Done deal. She can contact law enforcement to help her during the process of getting the car. If he can prove ownership, by way of sales slip, or written agreement, he would still need to prove why the vehicle is registered/titled to someone else. Apparently he has some serious stuff he doesn't want to divulge, I would be concerned with that part.

If the title to the vehicle is in her name, then she is the legal owner of the vehicle. If she doesn't want her name on the title, she can sell the vehicle, thus getting her name off of the title, which will end all of this drama!!

If the car is in her name isn't the loan on the car also in her name
or did he not get a car loan to purchase this vehicle. When the loan is written the person whose name is on the loan is usually the one on the title and registration so she should just sell the car if he doesn't want to take it of her name because technically it is her car.

If the vehicle is in her name she can do whatever she wants with it. Sell it, transfer it to someone else give it away whatever as long as there is not a lien on it. If there is a lien? She can still have the vehicle towed to wherever she wants and sell it with the proceeds going to the lender. If her name is not on the loan? The lender will go after the ex-boyfriend for the balance.

Well she can take that car from him... does she want it?
I would suggest taking the because it is in her name and then trying to sell it or have someone take over the payments and transfer the title to thier name..

complicated undertaking. in case you stop paying the vehicle may well be repossessed, however the black mark will bypass on your credit checklist. i think of you're able to have a criminal expert deliver a request for the return of the vehicle, and reckoning on the reaction choose no rely if to bypass to court docket or not. NB a million "presents" at the instant are not oftentimes returnable, so which you're able to look on the place of work work to work out how the vehicle became transferred on your ex. in case you signed the pass type you will have a undertaking. NB 2 Did you breach the words of the loan by potential of doing away with the vehicle? if so you probably did not have the main appropriate to present it and might declare it returned; you're able to could pay something for the inconvenience on your ex however.

If the title to the car is in her name, she should request a duplicate title from the Dept of Motor Vehicles.
Once she recieves said duplicate, she can find car and have it towed to wherever she wants,or sell it, or whatever, it is legally her car.

SHe has the right to change the ownership of the car, not the boyfriend. Have her get the title, and put it in his name. She can sign it over to his name without his signature. (In most states, anyway...)
