Reply to comment by Hoosac_Love in Transfer car from a family member in another state by dr_sm_a

Just asking for clarification regarding the title - what does that mean? since the current title is in my family member's name. wouldn't the RMV change the title to my name. I found this form for change of title and registration: https://www.mass.gov/doc/registration-and-title-application-0/download

The back of the title has the places to sign ,that is where your parents or family would sign it over to you ,then you sign ,then the car is your at that point

Yes when you get the MA title in the mail it will have your name only then ,and your place to sign it to a new person at a latter time. Just have to title with proof of sales tax or proof of gift and your good to go

You would want to get insurance too as well ,sorry , usually the insurance company contacts the registry
