DON'T File For An Abandoned Vehicle Title

If you have a vehicle without a title, don't assume you can file for it as an abandoned vehicle. Laws are specific about abandoned vehicles, and "Finders Keepers" does not apply. Abandoned vehicles are those deserted without any claim of ownership and often in poor condition.

To resolve title issues, consider these methods:

Bonded Title: If your state allows, get a surety bond and file an application with the state.
Court Order Title: File a petition in county court for a judgment of ownership, then present it to the DMV.
Avoid using the abandoned vehicle route, as it can complicate the process and potentially lead to losing the vehicle. For more information, visit www.cartitles.com.
