| There will be some process for obtaining a title. I think you should go to the Department of Motor Vehicles in your county and talk with them about how to get a title.

| I went through this a couple of times over the years,once when I didn't get the MCO right off when we bought a new trailer (had to get the trailer manufacturer involved in that one) and another time when trying to buy a trailer from a childhood friend who wouldn't fess up that he'd never titled it in his name from the previous owner. It sure leaves a mess when people just fail to title a trailer.They try to avoid paying sales tax,declaring it on their property tax assessment (we do this in our state) etc.In some states you can apply for a "lost title" and that works. |

Location: Sparta TN | i'm going to tell you right now it is going to be a HEADACHE. I purchased a trailer from a shady dealer a few years back & after 6 months I still didn't have a title....I'm from Tn purchased the trailer in KY it was a bank repo from AL & was sold at auction in NC....when I finally spoke to the auction company I found out it was sold to another dealer in KY & this guy purchased it from them on credit & didn't even have the title.... IN KY trailer dealers arn't regulated... we ened up having to get any attorney to send this guy a letter before we could get our title. My point is stay away....let your friend do the leg work they are the one who purchased it w/out the title |
