My question involves a traffic citation from the state of: California
I sold my car and sent in the release of liability within 3 days of the sale. The new owner did not register the vehicle in his name before the car was stolen from his possession. The car was stolen within 2 weeks of my sale of the vehicle. New owner also failed to purchase insurance. The car was recovered by a police patrol in a town several hours away. I was contacted about the car via lien sale papers. I am listed as the registered owner and the legal owner space is blank. Do I have to go to my local police and the city police where car was recovered to geet releases or can I note on the lien sale docs the change of ownership and transfer the responsibility to rightful owner? thank you
