Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Minnesota
Car Ownership/Repossession
My ex-fiance gifted me a car and now
wants money or the car back. Is this
legal?
He gave me the car as a gift a year
ago. He has stated in numerous
emails and letters that it is a gift and
I don't have to repay him. However
he still has an outstanding loan on it
and is now requesting I pay him for it
or he will take it back. He holds the
title to the car. I was not on the loan
to purchase the car, but I am on the
paperwork at the dealership in order
for me to carry insurance on the car.
He has given me all of the papers
regarding the purchase as well. Do I
have legal rights to the car? Does he
have legal rights to take the car from
me?

Re: Car Ownership/Repossession
You will likely need to go to court to enforce the gift + transfer title.
What is value of car? Outstanding lien/loan?
