Asked in Car Accidents for Georgia

Q: How can I make decisions i.e renew my car's registration if I am the co-signor and don't want to deal with the initial?

The car is in my ex- boyfriend's name and I am the co-signor but I make all the payments and I am the only one driving the car.

A: Not sure what you mean by "the initial," but you need to see if he will sign it over to you or he agrees that he is primarily responsible and you turn the car over to him. You have a purchase money interest, except that you were boyfriend/girlfriend and that's sometimes considered a gift.

You want to get out of this because insurance will be in his name, If he wants he can take possession of the car.
