My dad co-signed for my car and it is now paid off. How do I get his name off of the title?

Question

I recently paid my car loan off and received the title in the mail. I noticed that my dad's name was also listed on the title under my name. How do I go about getting him off of the title? Does he just sign the back or does he have to write a letter to the DMV or what?

Answer 1

Buy him a good father day gift, then have him agree to sign the pink slip and you bought it for $1.00   Then take it to the DMV and BAM its in your name...

Answer 2

He can gift it to you.  All he has to do is write a sort of bill of sale saying hes giving it to you as a gift and take that and the title ( which he also has to sign ) to the licensing place.

Answer 3

Sign it and buy it from him for like $10.75 or dinner. Then go to the dmv and have the title changed. I think it is fine and you could pro=bably do something better with your time and $60.

Answer 4

He can sign off on it.  You'll need to take it to the DMV  & submit it for a new title.  He doesn't need to state any amounts of money on there because it's a transfer within family.

Answer 5

check and see with dmv ... if you sell it to him  i think there is a title transfer fee PLUS a tax due.  the tax can be pretty expensive.  ask around and do more research.  good luck

Answer 6

You don't have to buy it.  Just have him sign the title.  Then tuck it away for later (when you sell it).

When you sell it, it will already have owner #1 (father) then you (owner #1) or vice versa.

Good Luck...

Answer 7

Your dads name was on the car as a co-buyer.

Because a co-signer would only be on the loan papers.

All you need to do is have your good ole dad sign on the dotted line that he releases his interest in the car.

Look the title over. Some will say son and dad.

Some will say son or dad....This is what it would say if you where to sell the car...If it says (OR) then you do not need to do a thing and put the title in a good safe place.
