Then what's the issue? Oh, yeah. Missing title....

AIUI, the title isn't missing, only that the previous owner didn't sign
on the transfer line before turning same over to iggy...

Yes, I have the title, paid for the trailer, and have a paid invoice.

The problem is that they did not sign the title.

If so, his easiest theoretical solution is to return to the previous
owner w/ said title in hand and obtain a signature on it from a duly
authorized employee of the company (in presence of whatever, if any,
witnesses are req'd by his local laws/regulations) and then proceed to
the next step.

As apparently this was an outfit going out of business, that may not be
as easy as one might hope.

If that isn't feasible, undoubtedly there's a way for him to rectify the
situation; clearly it won't be the first/only such transaction of such
type to have ever occurred in his state. He just needs to

a) determine how the vehicle should be registered, and
b) go to DMV and get the job done per their instruction (hoping the
hoops aren't too many, high, expensive, etc., etc., etc., ...)

IMO, a) above is by far the most critical.


I will make a few calls now.
