Download MP3Episode Show Notes / Description:
- Introduction to the Process:
- A court-ordered title (also called a magistrate title or civil lien) is often the solution for title issues.
- Common questions: What do you get? How does the process work?
- Document Package Process:
- Once you place your order, you'll receive a confirmation email within minutes that your order is in process.
- A second email follows to confirm that your name and VIN number are correct, ensuring accuracy before printing.
- After verification, documents are printed and shipped via USPS Priority Mail (2 business days).
- You’ll receive tracking information so you can follow your package's journey.
- What Happens When the Package Arrives:
- Upon delivery, an operations department staff member will contact you to confirm receipt and answer any questions.
- The document package includes three sections: left side, right side (with one paperclipped, one loose).
- Document Signing & Mailing:
- The documents are pre-filled with your information, but signatures are required in certain places (marked with arrow stickers).
- You’ll also receive pre-addressed envelopes to mail documents to relevant agencies, including the magistrate and DMV.
- Additional Steps:
- A courtesy prior owner request is included, which may simplify the process and avoid a court appearance.
- A lien release request is part of the package, along with other required forms.
- A vehicle history report is included, with instructions on obtaining the official vehicle history from government agencies if needed later.
- Timeline:
- 12 to 14 business days is the typical timeframe for government agencies to process the documents, though it can vary.
- Some clients may receive their title documents faster, while others may experience longer wait times.
