We had to write two certified letters to all the previous owners, then we either filed that reply or the returned unsigned certified mail after 45 days (for each previous owner) we were able finally file a title transfer application with the Department of Wildlife and the DMV, then we had to wait for two letters to clear the title with those organizations and then finally we applied for a new title from the DMV. It was like 3 years of my life. We finally sold it!

You could have given it away or fire sold it with a simple bill of sale and let the next guy do all the BS if they so chose.

Seems like enough of parties involved had attitudes that precluded that though.
