Wait, so the car was sold to you by "person A" at an estate sale, but registered/owned by "person B". And this "person B" is deceased? What did AAA tell you to do about that?

So the car was owned by a guy who died and the title is lost. The estate sale sold his car to an intermediate person who was trying to make money flipping it. That intermediate person sold it to me last night.
AAA said that the easiest thing is to have the power of attorney get the lien released and apply for a duplicate title. Then the power of attorney can sell the car directly to me. I was told that the only way to make it work is if the original owner would help fill out paperwork.sigpic

I've also been reading and it looks like I might be able to get a surety bond, which allows me to get a new title that is stamped "BONDED" for 3-5 years.sigpic

Alternatively, you can go to the DMV with just the Bill of Sale and press your luck.

Seems legit, my situation is different. I’ll see if AAA can help me.

Anyone up to anything this weekend? Was going to do my Center Support Bearing, Guibo, and Motor Mounts. If anyone is down to drink beer, eat pizza, watch, and shout at me when I do it wrong, hit me up.1986 325e Maaco Black M62 Project [SOLD]

Are their any downsides to getting a Surety Bond on the car and having a "Bonded" title? The PO is being a pain in the ass.sigpic
