Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Virginia

car title

My daughter is trying to end a relationship with a convicted felon who paid for a car and in an effort to keep the car before he went to jail, he signed the title over to her. They are now estranged and she wants her name off the title. She only wants out of the relationship and doesn't want to aggravate this individual who has a violent history. She has a protective order in effect that prohibits contact by either party to the other. She will agree to sign the title over for 0$ but he will not sign. If she sells the car, the guy will go off. Can she in some way sign the car over to something like a John Doe and then send him a legal notice advising him that he has 30 days to sign the title or the car will be revert to the local city goverenment or agency or something similar?

Re: car title

Your daughter could contact the warden of the DOC facility housing this felon and explain that she would like to sign over this car title to this inmate and determine whether she might send the signed title to his or her office for whatever further handling of it that might be appropriate. within the protocols of the Department of Corrections that may govern such matters(handling property of inmates).
