My question involves vehicle registration or title in the state of: California
My sister left the country and stored her car in a garage for 5-years, but did not pay registration or file a non-operation notice. My sister would now like to transfer title to me in California.
1. Does she need to pay 5-years of registration + penalties? I see at www.dmv.ca.gov a mention of 160% at 2-years, but nothing beyond.
2. What is needed to do the transfer, especially since she also lost her title and is not in this country?
