Is It Against The Law To Register A Vehicle In Someone Elses Name?
People register vehicles for other people’s names to get rid of taxes. If you register under his name, it belongs to him (according to law). Good if you really trust him (but I don’t recommend). Why don’t you file for the lost title and just wait. According to my knowledge it is not against the law, but when something goes wrong, the law is not in your side. I mean, do it at your own risk. There is a risk that law cannot cover if you go that way. Just try to contact those people who got that boat and motorcycle, and check for how long they got it that way.
