I bought a car. It's worth 2500. It's my car. For insurance purposes the title is under my dads name. Can he legally take my car and sell it? It's not his. It's just under his name. I'm 19.

If the title says it is his, it is his. Unless you have a contract that says otherwise, the title takes priority over anything else. Can you prove you paid for it? Do you have evidence that you have driven, maintained and otherwaise taken all responsibility for it? You might have a case for small claims court, but that title is the best defense Dad has to any claim you might make. He likely will win when the best claim you can make to the judge is that you were "only" committing insurance fraud by putting it in Dad's name.
My advice is to try to work things out with your father. If he is taking it for discipline or because you have acted irresponsibly, perhaps letting him know you have learned your lesson would carry some weight. Sometimes saying "I'm sorry" and promising never to repeat it is what a dad needs to hear from his teenage son. Good luck! |
