    I am sure that you do.

    The creditor needs the money they loaned you too.

    I don't know what it means either. The Register of Deeds is under no obligation to do a search for the creditor. If the creditor knows of an specific property you have an ownership interest in, they can file a lien against it, but they can't just send a request for them to search for property.

    Why don't you sell it to your husband? Draw-up a bill of sale for $xxxx.xx, payable at $xx.xx per mont at 7% interest until paid in full. When you get your new title, resubmit the paperwork to the DMV. Now, those x's are supposed to be real numbers since we aren't the government.

    Yes, and he needs to pay you as well; which will qualify the sale as "an arms length transaction." "The arm's length principle (ALP) is the condition or the fact that the parties to a transaction are independent and on an equal footing. Such a transaction is known as an "arm's-length transaction". It is used specifically in contract law to arrange an equitable agreement that will stand up to legal scrutiny, even though the parties may have shared interests (e.g., employer-employee) or are too closely related to be seen as completely independent (e.g., the parties have familial ties)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arm's_length

    So if I do this bill of sale to my husband, it won't look like I am trying to hide or transfer assests?
