    Question Transfering Ownership Of Car With Expired Tabs

    I have a car I'd like to donate to a charity. It's tabs expire in 2 weeks. In order to renew them I have to get an emmissions test done...problem is: the car doesn't run. I can just donate it as is (they will take it in it's current condition) or I can sell (or gift) it to my fiance' and let him donate it since he itemizes his tax deductions and I do not. Will a title transfer even be possible without being able to get a new registration? If so is it better to sell or gift the car? Do I need to hurry up and get it done before the 2 wks are up? Is this whole ownership swapping for tax purposes even legal? We live in Washington state. Thanks.

    It should be. It just can't be driven until a new registration is obtained.

    Generally, it's not your responsibility to keep track of what happens to property after you give it away.
