This was done in the state of Georgia. I bought, own and restored an old VW camper bus. I went short on funds and my girlfriend at the time wanted us to use t he camper bus. Her insurance would be a lot cheaper than mine, so she got a tagand insurance for the bus, but she put them in her name. While we were together, I thought that was fine. But now that we are not together, she thinks that she has part ownership of the vehicle. I have the bill of sale from when I purchased the car, she has never had the such but was supposed to in order to have gotten the tag in her name. In a court of law, where does her old tag get her?

Who's name is on the title? They are the one that owns the car. I'm wondering how she was able to get plates on it if the VW was in your name and her name wasn't on the title.
Go down to the DMV or county clerks office and get this straightened out. Get the registration in your name and cancel the other tag. It should have never happened but it did now get it straight and then you won't have any more worries. Good luck with it.

The owner of the car is the person who owns the pink slip of the vehicle.
Bill of sale, tags, and insurance do absolutely nothing. A bill of sale indicates the Pink slip was transfered, but if you didn't register the vehicle and transfer ownership, the owner of the original pink slip is technically still the owner of the vehicle.
With you Bill of sale, you should have registered the vehicle and the state should have sent you a pink slip. If you didn't register it, you'll have to go to the DMV or courthouse and request a replacement pink slip for the vehicle.

you've gotten some issues right here. The kinfolk member you opt to sell to, will they be driving the motor vehicle? My wager this kinfolk member has had injuries/tickets or is unlicensed, so coverage is expensive for them. Does the kinfolk member stay with you? if so, then the coverage might desire to be interior the kinfolk member call, because of fact the owner and you listed as a driving force on the coverage. yet once you and kinfolk member stay in distinctive properties, then in basic terms the owner could have a coverage, because they have an "insurable" interest, because they very own the motor vehicle. the final analysis is, in case you lie approximately possession, the place the motor vehicle is parked, and regarding the drivers who stress the motor vehicle on a time-honored foundation and if in an twist of destiny, the coverage business enterprise can DENY your declare, or VOID your coverage, which in result you would be driving uninsured. reliable success

The owner of the vehicle, is the one listed on the title as the registered/legal owner. I'm not sure how your girlfriend was allowed to register it in her name, it was definately an error on the licensing agent's side if they registered without proper identification. I would contact the DMV, ask to see what documents were used to title/register the car, you of course are going to show your bill of sale, and any other documents you may have showing ownership.

If you put her name on the title, you are screwed. But if only the insurance and car tag is in her name you are okay. Tell her you are going to report her to the insurance and tag agency for fraud for putting someone else's car on her insurance that she does not own. In some states it isn't legal.

You are the owner of the vehicle since you are the title holder. In court the most she would get (maybe) is reimbursement for the tag she bought for you.

if she registered it in her name she had to have the title transferred in her name as well. Did you sign the title over to her? If not then she forged your signature. But if she is the registered owner that makes it hers. if Georgia has a no title law then your out of gas.

What everyone else has said already seems to accurately sum up the dillemma; unless her name is on the title... etc. But, the fact that she is trying to lay claim to the vehicle isn' t very nice of her. I feel for you. I've been with a couple like her myself.
