Re: Vehicle
It is not possible for someone to sell something that they do not own. The issue is actual ownership, not possession of the title certificate. However, a completed sale requires that the seller be able to deliver "good title" to the buyer. So, if evidence of title is a title certificate (as it is for NJ autos), the seller must deliver the certificate of title within a reasonable period of time.
I think that your question may be more complex than this. If so, contact me using the linked information or visit www.corbettlaw.net.
