notary/title transfer? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Going to sell my subie tomorrow, but not sure if I can get my father(title holder), and the buyer in the same place at the same time. Can my father sign off on the title so that he would not have to be present when the buyer is there? I tried calling about 10 different notaries, but in PA i believe they can not sell cars as such. any one know about doing this?

PS i am strictly refering to a PA title and plate transfer???

I don't see why not. When I bought my 240sx it had a NJ title. All I had to do was have the owner fill out what they needed and took it to my PA title place. Everything went threw fine. Have your dad sign where he needs to and meet the buyer at the title place. You should be good.

Nope the title holder has to be present for the title transfew or someone with power of attorney.

The notaries are technically not supposed to sign off on an open title but a lot do. Depends on the person honestly. I've done it many times.

telopyros · 04-19-2010, 11:58 AM

managed to get them together, but thankyou all for the help....the subie is gone.

False. A notory will allow the seller to noterize their portion and then the buyer can do their part on their own. Julie did it with her divorse.

It's technically illegal though as they are leaving the title open ended. This could potentially lead to legal problems if the new owner does not actually transfer it into their own name (i.e. accident while titled in old owners name). Notaries do it...but not all of them.

How it is illegal to notorize a document? whether the sale completes or not wouldn't be the notories responsiblity unless all parties sign and the title transfer is paid for. The seller is paying for a signature, it is up to the buyer to pay for the title transfer. As far as I could understand, the notory completed a legal service of notorizing a signature.

I would assume the only reason a notory would reject this is because they don't want to be responsibe for the docuemnt in there posession or returning it to the origional owner, but def not anything illegal that I could think of.

(Yes, I'm this bored at work)

telopyros · 04-19-2010, 04:02 PM

lady told me today...it was illegal so hey do what you need to do.

The act of notarizing the document is not illegal, leaving it open ended is, however. Call any notary, they will tell you. As I stated, they may do it, but that doesn't make it legal.
