Q: I lost my car title before registering my car. I have zero proof of purchase and no info of prior owner. What do I do?
I don't even want this car but in order for me to stay at my apartment their rules are all cars must be registered or will be towed. I was hoping I had other options to get around this but as of right now I'm in a bad situation and need this resolved asap. I've done a little research online and at this point I was wondering if I could just do a court order title or a declaratory judgment? The quickest way possible would be nice because if they tow my car the next thing is I will be kicked out because I won't have a car to go to work.
A: A Missouri attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. One option could be to check with motor vehicles how long they take to process a replacement title, and if the process could be expedited. Good luck
