Removing ex-husband's name from car title - no loan involved

My vechicle is in my name and my ex-husband's name. There is no loan involved but we must get the vehicle in my name only for the obvious reasons but also so that we can separate our insurance policies.

What is the best way to do this without hiring an attorney and paying sales taxes? Is there something similar to a quitclaim deed and does anyone know where I can get a sample form?

Hi. I was just going through the unanswered questions file and came upon yours. I am sorry that no one has gotten back to you yet. I didn't want you to feel ignored so I am going to try to help you.

I understand exactly what you are talking about.

The problem is that each state has it's own forms and may not accept a general form as evidence of transer of title. Do a search on Department of Motor Vehicles. Include your state. For example: New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. It should take you to their website.

Search in the transfer of title area to see what forms are available for sales tax exemptions. If nothing fits, then I would suggest next week, call the phone number listed on the web site. Explain the situation. If this is part of your divorce agreement, they may want to see a copy of your agreement and a letter signed by your ex stating his intentions to sign the title over to you with his signature notarized. But, let them guide you. The biggest problem is that a lot of these people that work for the DMV, don't even know what will be acceptable! Someone may tell you one thing and you find out later on, that it was not the way to handle it. So, when you call, ask to speak to a supervisor, or someone who handles transfer of title. Hopefully you will get someone who won't steer you wrong.

In any event, my answering your question should bring this posting back up to the front of the line and someone else may stop by with another suggestion.

I hope this helps.
