I'm in OH, but I got a car in my name at age 16. Whose name was on the title? If it was the aunt's name, then without an agreement otherwise, she owned the vehicle.

daughters car

i know my spellings not to good.my daughter said the car is in her aunts name.and her name?

 

[moburkes]

We would need to know EXACTLY how the title reads.

 

[CdwJava]

If the transfer of title needed BOTH their signatures, and the aunt forged the daughter's signature without her permission, we probably have a crime. If only one of their names was necessary, then the police won't involve themselves in a civil issue.

Whitenight, has anyone talked to her to find out HER side of the tale?

...my daughter signed herself and her aunt also signed....

That means both agreed on the sale.

So where is the problem?

If they both signed the paperwork justifying the sale, then it's legal.

You can sue the aunt for a portion of the sale if you think you have a case, but there is nothing against the law in selling a car when both people on the title agree.

hi the problem is that the aunt sold her car without asking my daughter and didnt give her anything..??

 

[moburkes]

Once your daughter signed the title, that is all the aunt needed in order to proceed with the sale. The option to sue the aunt for a portion of the sale was already given.

she didnt spend any money on my kids she got money.and for the car i gave my daughter the money for it.her aunt didnt pay anything

 

[CdwJava]

In the absence of a contract to the contrary, the TITLED OWNER of the car (the aunt) can lawfully sell property which she legally owns (the car) and do what she wishes with the money.

There is no crime. Arguably, there might be a claim for some or all of the proceeds of the sale, but that will require a civil suit.

If your daughter SIGNED the papers authorizing the sale, then it's done. Time to go after her in small claims court or sue her in superior court (depending on the value of the car).
