NightRider Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 So...i thought i had a notary lined up for me. Turns out they just went on vacation, and won't be back for a week. I need to get this thing in my name, so i can get plates for the bike. Does anyone know of a notary in the Lancaster/Columbus area? And who will take care of it, without the previous owner being there?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 any major car dealership will have a notary on hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightRider Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Previous owner has signed off on the title. So no, it's not in my name yet. I take it, unless i know the person, the previous owner has to be present? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hue jass Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Dubguy's got it. Any bank always has a notary on hand (it's free). When a title is signed over to you, the notary is for the person selling, not the buyer. It's proof that the guy really wanted to turn the title over to you. Otherwise you could just steal a title and sign it. Do whatever you gotta do to make it right. That bike's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 IP's lying, don't listen to himjk, sounds right, hence why I try to only buy from dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightRider Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 It makes no difference if the previous owner was your father.. the notary HAS TO WITNESS the seller signing the title. If it is already signed you will have to wait until the owner comes home and go to a notary public with him/her. The title is technically still in his/her name since it wasn't signed in the presence of a notary public. Sucks.. but it is the situation. I know how it works.. I'm a notary.No...i didn't mean the previous owner. I meant the notary. Obviously...you know it's not the most "moral" or "law abiding" thing to do...but if you know the notary...he/she should be able to take care of it for you. It worked for me last time with the previous owner signing the title. Because i knew the notary. Said notary is now on vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
