I am absolutely responsive to what you are saying, however the is really no liability here. My friend is basically giving me the boat because I am going to restore it, which is exactly what he wants as well. So with money not being an issue, it's just a matter of getting it in my name before I sink any money into it. I'm obviously not gong to invest any money into it until I get the boat in my name. That is why I have no problem trying to help him retrieve the title.
I'm really new to the legality of this, but is there a way he can sign a probate to forfeit the title from his grandfather?
