If a car is a gift but title was never signed over to me am I legally entitled to car?

We were Living together and Engaged. During that time he bought me a car as a gift. Engagement is broken off and I am moving out due to many factors such as abuse etc. Title is still in his name.

Traffic Lawyer Richard Simon’s Answer

The answer in general is yes, but this will be tough to prove. You need to show evidence of the intent to give you the vehicle and not just of it’s use while you were engaged. The fact that he failed to title it to you certainly goes against you, but he did deliver the actual vehicle to you. When you gift a vehicle in Missouri to a charity, you must turn over the title and register the transfer. So you can sue him for it, but will have a hard time getting the car.

Speeding Ticket KC

Ready to clean up your Missouri driving record?

We serve drivers across the entire KC metro — Jackson, Clay, Platte, Cass, and Johnson counties. You do not need to appear in court or visit the DOR in person. We handle everything remotely.

Call (816) 398-8772 or use the contact form on this page for a free consultation. We will review your full driving record, tell you exactly what can be removed, and give you a flat-fee quote before you decide anything.

If your ticket is recent and you have not yet been convicted, we may be able to fight it in court before it ever reaches your record — which is always the better outcome when that option is still available.

Driving Record Analysis

We pull your Missouri driving record and review it in detail, noting any suspended license issues, outstanding tickets, or points that may be eligible for removal. We send you a copy of the record with analysis of what is on it.

Ticket Removal & Purge

We have the original ticket set aside by the court and amended to a non-moving violation. For older tickets (3+ years), we contact the Department of Revenue and have them purged from your record.
