Your Trusted Source For Court Ordered Title Information

If you have been told that you have insufficient documentation or evidence to obtain a title for a vehicle in your name, a “Court Ordered Title” may be an option you have available to remedy your title problem. While the titling division (DMV, Secretary of State, Department of Transportation, etc) may not be able to issue you a title with the limited documents that you have, the court may be able to override the title office and force a title transfer to your name.

Court Ordered Title Pros and Cons

This is a good backup method to consider if other methods have not worked out -Bill of sale, bonded title, prior owner contact, etc.

Pros

Inexpensive: Most courts charge a small fee for filing typically under $100.
Authority: The court has the authority to direct the title office to give you a title no matter what
DIY: You can do the process yourself, you do not need to pay anyone for a title
Universal: This works in all 50 states, without restriction
Bypass DMV: Take the title decision out of the hands of the DMV/title office
Liens: The court has the power to wipe out liens on a title, at their discretion

Cons

Bureaucratic: The process normally has 5 steps you must follow
Time: Depending on the court schedule, and how fast you do the steps in can take several months
Variation: There are 3611 counties in the US, and each one does it different, so there is no one set process
Forms: You will need between 4 and 6 forms completed
Approval: The final decision of you getting a title is up to the court. (Although they normally say yes unless there is some issue with the vehicle; stolen, suspicious paperwork, objections, etc.)

This is an example of how most counties work the process. You can see links below of a few specific examples.
