Re: Free of claim
This means that you are being awarded the vehicle subject to paying the loan and that you are to make the payments. this language is rather antiquated. Usually, the language is something along the following: "vehicle A is awarded to the wife, she shall make all paymets thereon, and hold husband harmless on this debt."
