there is a new legal owner and you have doc's to prove it.like what??if your state just uses a registration what do you have that proves it.my insurance agent told me this when i asked"if i sell a car and the guy just drives it around without titling it and he gets in a wreck am i still liable for it.:answer "yes" because i am the last (registered) owner.i believe the same applies here.if he did not register it you are screwed.
