Alabama Title Processing Information

I've got the title in front of me now where do I sign?:
You release ownership of the vehicle by signing on line 3, in the first section on the front of the title. If there is a lien holder on the vehicle you will need a lien release.
You do need to fill out the notice of transfer/release of liability but you will need to complete the bill of sale which will be provided by the towing agent.
I'm the registered owner but I can't find my title:
If you are the registered owner and your title has been lost, stolen or damaged you can apply for a duplicate title. If IAA is processing the title you will need two completed generic Powers of Attorney signed by all owners listed on the title (one to apply for the duplicate title and one to sign the duplicate title when it is received from the DMV). You can also fill out the application for replacement title.
If you are not able to obtain a negotiable title or the paperwork for a duplicate title, the vehicle can be abandoned to IAA which will relinquish your rights to any proceeds from the eventual sale of this vehicle. This option should be used as a last resort when all efforts have failed to produce a negotiable title.
If you want to donate your vehicle, but you do not possess the title and have no wish to obtain a duplicate title we can take care of the process for you. You will need to fill out two completed generic Powers of Attorney signed by all owners listed on the title (one to apply for the duplicate title and one to sign the duplicate title when it is received from the DMV) and a Lien Release (if applicable). You will need to hold onto these forms until the tow agent comes to pickup the vehicle at which time you will hand them over to the agent.
The owner of the vehicle is deceased:
Hurricane Katrina relief
In the case of a one owner death: You will need a copy of the death certificate, a notarized next of kin affidavit (MVT 5-6), and a properly signed title by the next of kin.
In the case of a probated estate: You will need a copy of the death certificate, notarized probate papers from the court/notarized will, and a properly signed title by the executor of the estate.
The vehicle was abandoned on my property:
In most cases we will be able to pick up the vehicle. If we need paperwork from you it will usually be in the form or your signature on a paper describing where the vehicle was left and your request for us to remove it. The process for acquiring the title for an abandoned vehicle can be long and tedious, but you won't have to worry about anything because we take care of it for you.
