car replacement title (Wills & Trusts)

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 14:18:00 GMT

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)Alabama? :
I am trying to sell my fathers car and I couldn't find the title-so I ordered a replacement title. Money and jewelry and stuff is missing and now I'm worried that he might have signed the title over to the person I think took the missing items. What happens if I sell the car and then this person shows up with the original title?

    What you are describing can't happen. Why?
    Because YOU can't sell the vehicle that is in someone elses name!
    Here is what you have to do:
    Was there a probated will? If so, you need to get a 'Letters of Testamentary' from the court.
    If there was NOT a probated will, you need to get and complete a 'Next of Kin' form and a certified copy of the death certificate.
    A 'next of kin' form can be downloaded from: www.revenue.alabama.gov/motorvehicle/mvforms/mvt5_6.pdf
    Once you have the PROPER paperwork, take it to the county clerks office where the vehicle is located.
    As for the CURRENT title status, call the Alabama DMV at 334-242-4141.
