| No, no, no. That is NOT correct. You are NOT changing the name on a title, you are transferring ownership. Don't even try that; you'll get laughed at, at best.
Since your cousin is not an "immediate family member" (e.g., mother, father, wife, husband, civil union partner, daughter, son, sister, brother) you have to go through the process as if it was a sale from a stranger.
Here's what your cousin has to do to sell it:

And what you have to do to buy it:

Your cousin will need to sign off the title on the back, and provide to you a Bill of Sale with the price paid. You will need to get proof of insurance IN ADVANCE before registering in your name. If you guys have ANY doubt as to where to sign on that title, DON'T DO ANYTHING, and you BOTH bring it to a DMV and let them walk you through it. If you mess up the back of the title, you get to deal with the DMV for a replacement then start all over again...
Any questions? Walk up to a DMV counter and ask. - GA |
