Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania

repo a car?

my mother in law bought a car for her son (who lives with her) a car. It was clearly stated that he would make the loan payments (myself and my husband were there at the time) 10 months have gone by and no payments,he has recently lost his liscence due to DUI for a year. My mother in law wants/needs to sell the car to pay loan since he can't use the car and he is refusing to sell-it's reg. in his name, can we MAKE him sell. We have proof that mom paid for it(copy of check) and we where witnesses to the fact it was a loan and payments were to be made(no written promissory note)

Re: repo a car?

This is a very strange factual situation. However I have encountered something like this before many years ago. Strangely enough, I think the Family Division of the Court of Common Pleas may have jurisdiction of this matter and your mother-in-law may be able to get the Title transferred by court order if she's willing to go to that extent.
