What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- What is a court-ordered title - A legal process where you file documents with a court to have a vehicle title issued to you when the DMV cannot help
- Why you might need this process - When you have title issues the DMV is unable or not authorized by law to resolve, such as:
- Missing title documents
- Damaged title paperwork
- Liens showing on record
- Other title complications beyond DMV authority
- Alternative names for this process - Different jurisdictions may call it:
- Magistrate title
- Declaratory judgment
- Writ of mandamus
- How the court process works - Courts have authority to override DMV decisions when the DMV lacks the legal power to resolve your situation
- Filing logistics - You file documents in the county where you reside, and the entire process can be handled by mail without appearing in court
- Required documentation - You must create from scratch (no standard forms available):
- Petition of ownership
- Declaration of interest
- Affidavit of facts
- Additional documents may be required depending on your local court
- When to consider this option - Best used when the DMV is giving you the runaround and cannot legally resolve your title problem
