Legal Question in Personal Injury in Missouri
We sold a vehicle to our grandson. It is still in our name. He is driving it with no tags and no insurance and no license. Will we be held accountable if he injures someone in an accident?

Yes you can be held liable. If you gave him the vehicle I suggest you "gift" it to him so he can at least register the vehicle in his name without paying any sales tax because it was gifted. This will get your name off the title as soon as he completes and files the proper paperwork with the state.
