<prompt> Human: Let me clarify: My mother-in-law had been using my 02 Accord for years. she bought a new car last year and sold the Accord. Cool beans.I was informed that the title was transferred by the person buying it and it was sold for parts so I didnt need to be involved further. Cooler beans. I now have a stranger calling me and texting multiple times a day saying he needs me to sign a lein satisfied form with a notary. He knows where I live. I went to the dmv web page and that didnt really help California. I dont know the date it was sold, I dont know to whom, or where he lives. Im not familiar with this form. The car was payed off back in 06. My mother-in-law said she was selling it for parts. Guess someone got it working Ive seen it being driven. Should I be worried? Ive sold cars to private buyers before and never heard of this.  <response>: If this was YOUR car, YOUR name was on the title, no? If so, how did mother in law sell the car without your signature on title? If she sold it without your signature on title, then she sold it for parts aka a working car with no title so next owner cant get it registered. Person went to DMV to get the registration because Hondas have a hard time dying. However, the DMV has you listed as owner to the VIN, and alas, the new owner has no title to prove that its theres! Basically, DMV would now require a form to be signed by the legal owner YOU saying that this guy doesnt owe you money for the car, so that he can get the title in his name.x200B;OR he can get it registered in Vermont literally a mail-in form where they wont issue a title for a car that old or check the VIN or odometer. Then he can get it re-registered and a re-built title in California when he transfers his Vermont registration ; That was mostly just a fun fact because I love legal loopholes.
