Legal Question in Insurance Law in Louisiana

Who is responsbile for insuring the mobile home?

I sold my mobile home to a couple for cash and have a notorized bill of sale showing how much it was sold for etc. I gave them the title and they were supposed to go to the DMV and switch it over using the bill of sale. Well, they say they have no money to do it and my insurance is up on the mobile home. If somebody gets hurt in there is it my responsiblilty? Is there anything I can do about this because I'd like to save the $500 on insurance when I'm not even living in the trailer. They have pulled it off of my land and are now living in it.

Thanks!

You will not be responsible. However, since the mobile home is "licensed," you need to call the department of public safety and tell them you do not own the mobile home any longer and ask if there is anything you need to do so you are not penalized for not having it insured any longer. They may want to see a copy of the bill of sale.
