Can a car title be transferred without a notarized power of attorney signature?

Question

I'm in dispute with another party over the terms of a lease transfer. I have not signed the power of attorney notarized form for him to complete the transfer to me; yet he insists that my verbal commitment is sufficient for the car title transfer. Is that possible?

Answer 1

unless both parties sign the back there's no way the title can be transferred. Also if there is a lien on the vehicle the vehicle cant be transferred until the lien has been paid off.

Answer 2

You don't need any Power of Attorney to transfer a Title.  You just fill out the "Transfer" section on the back of the Title and have your signature notarized by any Notary Public.

Answer 3

wat??

Answer 4

Verbal commitments are not legal in a court of law. But..... I don't understand what you are doing;  a "lease transfer" ?  From whom to whom?  Why would a power of attorney be needed?   I would do two things;   be very, very careful of giving power of attorney to anyone else and re-post your question with more detail

Answer 5

No.  It may not have to be notarized (by a notary public), but it will at the least have to have your signature to make it official.  It all depends on the laws of your state.  I don't know of anywhere were a verbal agreement is a binding contract in a lease agreement.  Don't sign anything until you are satisfied with the terms of the lease.

Answer 6

Who has possession of the car?
