AUTO TITLE TRANSFERS - ABC TITLE

SEE BELOW FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

1) VEHICLE SALES

Are you buying or selling a vehicle? Let us walk you through the ABC’s of transferring a vehicle. Our package protects both buyer and seller. We prepare and notarize all required documents, instantly issue a new license plate to the new owner, and handle everything in between. This is all done with our Scaryfast guarantee, and without a trip to the DMV.

For the simplest of transactions, we need the buyer(s), the seller(s), title, buyer’s proof of insurance and Valid State Issued (one of the 50 U.S. States) Identification for both parties. Please call or visit our office to inquire about unusual circumstances or absent sellers.

2) VEHICLE DONATION

ABC Title can assist you with gifting (donating) a vehicle to a friend or family member (Donee). A donation is an Authentic Act executed before a Notary in the presence of two witnesses transferring the ownership of a vehicle with no monetary exchange. Additionally, in most cases, a vehicle donation is a tax free transaction subject only to Title, Registration, and Plate fees.

You provide the donor, donee, title, donee’s proof of insurance, and valid identification, and we will do the rest! This includes instantly issuing a license plate to the new owner.

3) STATE TO STATE TRANSFERS

Are you new to Louisiana? Need to register your vehicle here? ABC Title can facilitate this process from obtaining the required documents from your Lender or Lessor to properly calculating your use tax and out-of-state credit. If your car is already paid for, simply bring us the Title, Valid photo I.D., your proof of insurance, and your License Plate and Registration will be issued instantly.

If you are leasing or still paying notes, we will work with you and your Lender or Lessor to acquire the necessary documents and minimize delays and “Red Tape”. Simply call our office or click here and follow the on-screen instructions on our self-help page.

4) HEIRSHIP (TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING DECEASED OWNERS)

Have you inherited a vehicle by virtue of a “Last Will and Testament”? Has a family member passed away without leaving a “Last Will and Testament”? ABC Title can assist you in this most difficult time by transferring ownership of a vehicle within a “Succession”, or outside of a “Succession”. These scenarios range from simple to some of the most complex vehicle transfers. Call one of our friendly Tag Agents for a short question and answer session and find out if we can help you.

*Please note that we must look at your succession documents (if applicable) to ensure accuracy.  There are several things that must be verified prior to determining if they are acceptable and a discussion over the phone can’t always uncover missing language.

FAQs

A. Please call us prior to handling a transaction of this nature. There are cases where unsuspecting buyers are forced to pay double tax and title because the proper documents were not obtained or executed. Don’t become a victim of Louisiana Tax Law ignorance. We can also advise you on things like “Bonded Titles” or “Export Only” Titles that will prevent you from ever registering the vehicle in Louisiana.

A. We cannot give you a License Plate until valid proof of insurance is provided. We can issue a Title and transfer ownership without insurance; so if you don’t intend on driving the vehicle yet, then you will not need proof of insurance. Once you bring us the insurance, we can issue your License Plate.

A. Yes. Come into our office with a third party who witnessed the signing of the Title. We will take their oath by witness acknowledgment and process your title transfer (Call for additional details or instructions when the seller cannot be present). *The safest transaction is one where both parties are present in our office.

A. NO! NO! NO! This will VOID the title. Call us immediately and we can assist you in correcting most mistakes of this nature.
