Legal Question in Banking Law in Georgia

A couple of months ago, a client residing in Alabama purchased a vehicle from us at our dealership in Georgia and we did a loan for her through one of our banks. We mailed in all her paperwork for title processing to her local DMV and she's now calling us telling us that her daughter is actually driving the car and she's four hours away. This is a problem for 2 reasons: 1) The client needs to perform a local VIN inspection at her DMV where she resides in order to receive or transfer a tag. 2) The client has now just told me that her daughter is actually driving this vehicle and that her daughter lives 4 hours away, making it hard to get the VIN inspection at her DMV. The Mom is paying for the loan and insuring it, but this still makes me worry, as we are not trying to be part of a straw purchase.

Can someone please advise if there's any other precautionary steps we should take. Thanks!

Assuming you're a car dealer, you obviously have corporate counsel and are using paperwork that deals with such situations if you're servicing the loan. Call that attorney, who is familiar with your paperwork. No one here has seen the paperwork.
