Re: Legal Ownership of a Car
During that 2 year time frame were you ever in contact with the person that had possession or figured that since you held the title you didn't need too? As mentioned, abandoned vehicle laws come into play.
What year car was it? Anything prior to 1972 doesn't need a title and can be registered very easily. If it is reregistered it now belongs to the present holder.
Basically what the NY State law says is if the vehicle is older then 1972 and there are no numbered plates on the car when abandoned, ownership can be acquired through another form.
