If so, uujudy can save herself the trip to an HSMV location to pick one up. There may be other useful forms downloadable on the list as well. Check it out!

Interesting form, never knew about it or signed one. Over the years I bought 4 sports cars (low mileage toys) from Villagers, one for myself and 3 for friends who drove them back to Wisconsin and Iowa. All we did was mail in titles to the respective states' DMV and back came new titles and plates.

I am not an attorney, but I do not think legal liability will remain with the orginal owner if you have proof of sale. I would guess that the "ownership status" comment at the bottom of the form is concerned more with who will be contacted in case of an "incident". The DMV would go to what is on record. It is interesting that nowhere is listed the license plate number.

I forgot to mention in my earlier posting that the seller should always get and verify the name, address, and driver's license number of the buyer as part of the transation.
