You don't have to do anything except make sure the car isn't stolen. This car isn't a $700.00 red Ferrari by any chance?

Change the door and ignition locks so the vehicle isn't 'stolen'. If the woman had her husband's durable power of attorney effective upon signing, she could legally sell the vehicle to you. He's got a problem with his wife.
