Q: someone gives a car 2 u, permanently, what must they legally do? Father gave 2000 suburban 2004. Need title 2 insure
Since I got a protective order against son (stalking, drug charges, child abuse) his father helping by leaving me unable to drive even this vehicle I rebuilt all year. My ex took the Denali, trying to put me and children on the street.
A: This question is tagged for both Georgia and Texas. I don't know anything about Georgia, but in Texas, the proper method to give a vehicle as a gift requires both the Giver and the Recipient to sign an "Affidavit of Motor Vehicle Gift Transfer" and an "Application for Texas Title and/or Registration" and take those documents to the county tax office and pay the $10 gift tax. You can probably download the forms from the Texas DMV's website. If none of that happened and the father still has title to the vehicle then you should probably just contact a Family Law attorney about the situation with your children and focus on that first.
