Since you and the car are in Mexico, you probably need an "abogado" down there; the law of Mexico would probably apply, including the possibility that Mexico has an equivalent of "common law marriage" under which the two of you would be treated as spouses.
"Intellectual property" by the way, is patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, not cars.
