<prompt> Human: Hello PF.In about a month, my brother will be turning 25 and my father wants to transfer ownership of the car my brothers currently driving into his name. My brother currently lives in CT, and my dad lives in NJ. What is the proper way for my dad to gift the car to my brother? Is it as simple as writing gift on the title? Which states paperwork will we need to fill out, CT or NJ? Both? My uneducated guess tells me that my dad should: sign the back of the title and write gift for sale price write gift on NJ sales tax form which I cannot find fill this bad boy out go to a CT DMV and fill out all of their paperwork and other tasks.Thanks!  <response>: A transfer between immediate family members is exempt from sales tax in CT see here You will still have to deal with out of state registration requirements. see here As well as the regular family transfer paperwork. see here Since in-family transfers are supposed to be tax exempt you wont need to try to pull any shenanigans. Your most straightforward approach may to go to a local CT DMV and ask them what needs to be done.
