Hello, thank you in advance for the advice. How possible is it for someone to sell your car without?

you knowing. Long story short, I have a car that's over 30 years old at my folks house. My brother is mentally ill (seriously), and threatens to sell my car over some bet (I don't know what he's talking about). My parents are too old to stop or follow him, so my question is can he forge my name on a bill of sale, even though the car is registered and insured to me?Hello, thank you in advance for the advice. How possible is it for someone to sell your car without?
Yes, he can forge your name and sell the car ';as is'; without title. Would it be legal? no. You would have to report his theft, and the car as stolen, if you have a title to prove ownership.





Would it be difficult for you to find out who it was to, and get the car back? Possibly. here's where your problem would be. If you have no title, you would need something to prove your possession. Even if you did have a title, stolen cars can easily be hidden. Cars before the 17 digit VIN became standard can be difficult to trace in the system. The new owner may not even know your brother didnt have rightful title. They may plan on restoring it, and have it in a garage for years for the process. If they arent interested in immediately registering it, it wouldnt matter if you have registration. It could also be parted out without registration.





Move it, if you are unsure of its safety.Hello, thank you in advance for the advice. How possible is it for someone to sell your car without?
If your brother forges your name, you can press charges for auto theft, and you can get the car back because you never sold the car.





If it were me, I would move the car away from your parent's house, and store it somewhere away from your brother
If your brother does not have the title on the vehicle, the buyer might not even be interested. If he forge your signature on the bill of sale and the title then you have the right to sue him and take it to court. Legally he can not sell your car if it is in your name.
Not legally he can't. The only way he would be able to is if his name is on the title.If that's the case... If it is listed as ';your brother'; and ';you';, both signatures are required. If it's listed as OR, he can.
