Probs getting title

Since it came from an estate, you are going to have to show continuity in ownership from the person that had it in the estate to you via the dealer. I recently went through that with a utility trailer that came with some property I purchased through a party that had bought the property from the estate and had never retitled the trailer. I had to go back to the family/executor of the estate, get them to fillout forms the DMV required.

I had the same problem with a car that we purchased from a dealer years ago. I contacted the State Police and they took care of it, I got my title and dealer got time to think about his business practices(In jail)

A dealer selling a vehicle in Indiana that they can’t provide a title for will be hammered by the Attorney General’s office.

True but little satisfaction. While getting hammered (after AG office takes its time finding its hammer) the buyer still does not have title, can't get a plate, can't legally drive it to a campground etc to say nothing of dealing with resultant possible ulcers. Do the darn transaction right. Before parting with your money be sure you are getting everything you're paying for. OP has come back saying the actual seller is an estate. Over my career I can't count the number of times people have been dealing with those nice people handling an estate only to have it blow up in their face because one heir wasn't consulted and decides he/she can't part with dad's car or whatever. And then it seems as though there is general agreement that if a dealer or salesman is talking, they are lying but, in this case, OP's child hands over hard earned, after tax dad's dollars to this person without taking possession of the title half of the transaction???

Hopefully daughter has learned....pop too.
