yes
both
Most states will allow you to register a car in one name even if two names are on the title. Of course, the registration has to be in one of the names on the title.
No, if your name is one of the two on the title. That makes the car as much your property as it is theirs. If you intentionally deprive them of the use of the car by hiding or destroying it, then it becomes a civil matter - not criminal.
Yes they can. Both of their names can be on the title!
The name coming first is the primary owner.
The title would revert to the survivor; this person should probably take a death certificate and the old title with both names to the BMV and get a new title issued with just his/her name on it.
If the names are like, "John Smith -and- Mary Smith", then they both have to sign the title. If the names are like, "John Smith -or- Mary Smith", then one signature is needed, and it can be by either one.
If two names are on the title seperated by a comma. What does this mean?
Only the driver. When there are 2 names on the title, it's usually because someone helped cosign.
From what I've read (I have the same situation) if there is an "AND/OR" on the title, only one needs to sign. If there is no "and/or" both need to sign.
Both people own the car. If the names on the title show John Doe "and" Jane Doe, the title must be signed by both John and Jane before it can be sold. If it shows John Doe "or" Jane Doe, only one signature is required to be able to sell it.
