I bought a 1999 jeep grand cherokee and got the titlt but the man I bought it from had not registered it in Kansas. I have not been able to locate the man to get it registered so that I can have it transferred to my name. I have been advised to file a quite title in court so that the vehicle can be legally transferred to my name. Could anyone please help with the right format to use in filing this before the courts. Lawyers are too expensive and we cannot affored one now. Thank you

I don't know why this is posted in real estate law - it's actually an other law question.

I honestly don't understand your question. You have clean title to the vehicle and the problem was that it was never registered in the State where you live, which appears to be Kansas? Vehicles are registered in "new" States all the time so I don't see the need to quiet the title, a procedure used when there is a shadow on/problem with the title itself.

You should go to the DMV and register this vehicle as soon as you have the title transferred into your name.

If you have a real original title and it was properly signed over to you, then you own it, and it does not matter if they had it registered or not.

With a properly signed over title that is clear of any liens you merely go to the DMV and apply for a new title and register it in your own name.

If you paid for a vechile without getting a clear title properly signed you are going to have trouble
