And sometimes it depends on what county your in. Years ago I trader off my 2000 Damon for a Winnebago. This was after my wife had passed away from cancer. The title was in both our names. I had to show the death certificate, plus a copy of the will for the county clerks office. So if your going to put both your names on a future title, put an "OR" in there between the names.
Not ALL states recognize "or".
PA it is BOTH, not one or the other, it is considered "joint" property if BOTH names appear on the title. BOTH must sign at the same time in front a Notary. In PA a Notary does all the paperwork prep and sends the changes to PADOT for titles.
POA for spouse should work in all cases and sending Fedex to spouse to sign may or may not work depending on how your state handles the paperwork.
BEST BET is to contact YOUR LOCAL DMV, not gain "advice" from the Internet. Only your local DMV can tell you the PROPER procedures that they will accept.
