What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
My father died a little over a year ago and my younger brother has power of attorney. He and I verbally agreed with my mother as witness that I would buy my fathers 2000 Cadillac Deville for $2000. I paid him with two money orders ($1000 each) for a total of $2000 and I have the money order reciepts but we had a falling out and he refuses to answer my calls or emails and will not send me the title to the car. I have had the car in my possession now for over a year and have it insured in my name. I have spent over $1900 in repairs on the car for which I have all the receipts. Right now the car is in need of major repairs and I am not comfortable having the repairs done and spending any more money on the car til I have a title for it. How can i get the title? do I qualify for filing a mechanics or storage lien? Will this get me a title? Or is there any other ways to get the title? I am at a loss so any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance for any responses.
