if you bought a bike with a clean title but the original owner sold it to his sister who filled out the title but never processed it at the dmv and then sold it right back 4 days later would you have any problem at all registering it?

 

have the original owner apply for a new title to transfer over to you. so it goes from his name to your name. or if she's the owner, have her get a ttile in her name then she can sign it over to you. do it the legit way so it doesnt come back as stolen, unpaid for, lost......etc. and they find it in your garage......


*bill of sale with the owners name and a title signed over=no problems!

 

so i can just get a bill of sale and ill be all good? or i need him to apply for new title AND get bill of sale?

 

You can get a bill of sale from her, and/or a power of attorney from her.

 

power of attorney?

 

what is power of attorney? and i have had the bike for like 2 months but havnt registered it.. is there a limit to how long you have before you can register it?

 

I waited a year before getting my title and plates.
You just have to pay a late fee. If you need it quick have her make a bill of sale and she needs to apply for the title and as soon as it gets to her get it. Otherwise her brother is going to have to apply for a lost title and still take a while. If he does it get a bill of sale from him. That way if you get pulled over the owner who the bike is titled to cain't say it was stolen or under repo.

 

ok. how much is the late fee? like $25? and how long does it usually take to apply for lost title or apply for title period? can i give the dmv the title i have now and a bill of sale and be ok? this is confusing lol

 

the dmv gave me an affirmation of correction or something like that to have both of them sign. should be all good if thye sign it lol
