*My still having the title means, to me, that my buyer simply failed to follow-through and take possession of the title (and the car). Yes, I should have sent it right away but my buyer was adamant about coming to get it and then, after communication tapered off, I forgot I even had the title. Follow through is the key and is my lesson learned here.

I would concur with that. He requested you to physically hold the title until he picked it up (within a reasonable amount of time). If the title was signed over to him at the time of sale, where the piece of paper is sitting doesn't affect the transfer of ownership.

The guy calling you could be anybody. If he truly is the nephew you should tell him to get a power of attorney signed, and a certified copy sent to you. That document in effect says that he has the legal guardianship of the ill buyer's personal and business matters. Then you can send it to him via registered/certified mail or Fedex with a signature required. I would not do anything in person. You don't know what &quot;issues&quot; this person may have.
