How to get a Title for an Abandoned Vehicle

Getting a Title for an Abandoned Vehicle
If you’re looking to get a title for an abandoned vehicle, here’s a technique that you can use to do it yourself for no fee without having to pay a title agent.

Asking Key Questions
First of all, ask a few questions: Do you know who abandoned it? Do you know that the person doesn’t want the car? And will somebody give you a bill of sale for the vehicle? Maybe the property owner, maybe a relative of the that where the car was from, a friend who knows?

Obtaining a Bill of Sale
If you have that bill of sale of somebody who says, “I’m transferring you this car,” and you know that whoever owned the car last doesn’t want it, you can present that bill of sale along with a small fee, about $40, directly to the DMV in the state of Vermont. No questions asked. They will issue you a registration title.

Converting the Registration Title
Once you have that registration title, you can convert that to a full title in any state in the United States. It’s recognizable by all 50 states.

Summary
So for an abandoned vehicle, as long as somebody will transfer it to you, make sure that you get a bill of sale. Go straight to the DMV in Vermont, and they’ll issue a registration title, no questions asked.
