Q: I need help sending a acertified letter to a man who gave me a vehicle and is not responding to my messages.
I need papers to get the car's tag/title
A:
The way you obtain that help is by calling an attorney. This forum is for lawyers to give educational information in response to inquiries on legal topics, and it's a way for lawyers to make the public aware of their existence and the fact that they have knowledge of the legal area that the inquirers are posting about. You have the option to contact lawyers who answer inquires and /or use the "Find a Lawyer" function at the top of the screen. Alternatively, you can try the Florida Bar Lawyer Referral Service.
Now, regarding your particular problem, if the the giver of the vehicle refuses to sign title over, then he in fact is NOT giving the vehicle to you. The possible scenarios here are (1) he intends for it to be a gift to you but is lazy or his life is out of control, or (2) he changed his mind about making the gift. Hopefully a letter will accomplish your goal, but if it doesn't, then there should be communications about him either re-taking possession or abandoning the vehicle. If there's abandonment, there are legal steps that can be taken for you to claim the abandoned vehicle.
