Answer 1

Yes, but be very carefull here.  You also will be signing for the mileage.  Make sure you write the miles in the area that contains mileage and then make sure you check the correct mileage, actual mileage, over 100,000 if it a 5 digit odometer or tmu-True miles unknown.  Or if the vehicle is over 10 years old write in EXEMPT in the mileage box..  Not only are you signing off the car, you are also signing for the mileage.  If this guy writes in a number and changes the odometer, you will be on the hook for the car if the mileage is incorrect.  Also after you fill in the mileage on the title, get a copy of the title front and back.

Answer 2

yes you have to sign the title over.  The junk yard/crusher will not take it without a clear title.

Answer 3

Any form of ownership transfer, you must sign the title :-)
