Bill of Sale only Vehicle Title

So how do you get a title for a car with just the bill of sale? In many cases, a bill of sale is presumed to be ownership of the vehicle. In fact, a bill of sale is just a record of a particular in the history of that vehicle. It just says that this vehicle somebody signed over party A to party B on that vehicle.

Limitations of a Bill of Sale
It doesn’t prove that party A was the owner if party A wasn’t the owner. It doesn’t prove that party B is the owner. It doesn’t even prove that maybe lender C had a loan on the car. So until there’s a title that’s issued, a bill of sale doesn’t prove anything except for on one particular day in history somebody said I’ll give you this car.

Issues with Unverified Ownership
If that person was not the legal owner, then that ownership doesn’t pass to the new person. Because think about it, how would you like it if somebody took your car to your driveway and then signed a bill of sale over to somebody else? They’re not the legal owner, so they can’t; they don’t have the right or authority to sign it over.

Moving from Bill of Sale to Title
So if a bill of sale is the only thing you have, take the next step. Get that changed over into a legal title so you don’t have any question about ownership of the vehicle.
