I've got the title in front of me now where do I sign?:

You release ownership by signing on line three on the back of the title. If the vehicle is, or was financed, the lienholder’s name appears in the legal owner section and their release with counter signature is required on line two, on the front of the title. 

On the back of the title is were you fill in the information to requested in the seller's box in order to release liability. If there is more than one owner you must have all parties sign off as the seller on the form. You will need to sign and print your name.  

I'm the registered owner but I can't find my title:

If you need your title, but it has been lost, become illegible, stolen, mutilated or altered you can apply for a duplicate title. You will need to provide secure and verifiable identification, the vehicle identification number(VIN) and $8.20 for a duplicate title fee. You are going to need a lien release if there is an active lien on the vehicle.

If all else fails and you can't obtain a duplicate title for some reason you can complete the Mechanics and Storage Lien procedure. You will need A VIN verification must be completed by a Colorado law enforcement officer. A request for a title history is made through the DMV. Certified mailings are sent to all current owners of record. If the certified mailings come back unclaimed then a notice must be posted in a local newspaper. A written retail vehicle appraisal must be obtained and a bond posted at twice the value of the appraisal. Once all the paperwork is in order, a sale document can be obtained from the DMV. This is a lengthy and costly process and should
be considered as a last resort after all efforts have failed to produce a negotiable title or proper paperwork to obtain a duplicate title. 

If you want to donate your car, but you don't have the title and need it in order to do so we can take care of the title process for you. You will need to fill out the forms below and then give them to the tow agent when he gets your car. 

You will need a completed Secure Power of Attorney (form DR2174) signed by all owners listed on the title and a Notarized Lien Release (if applicable). A generic POA will not work in this case. 

The owner of the vehicle is deceased:

In the case of one owner death: You'll need a certified copy of the death certificate, executors paper work and the executor must sign the title (even if the title is held by the lien holder). If there is no executor paper work you will need a "Small Estates Affidavit" for estates under $50,000 or a copy of the Letter of Testamentary for estates over $50,000 and the title signed by the next of kin appointed. 

In the case of Joint Tenancy: When just one owner is deceased, you will need  a certified copy of the death certificate and a signed title/secure POA signed by the surviving owner.  

The vehicle was abandoned on my property:

In most cases we can still pick up the vehicle, if we need paperwork from you it will be in the form of your signature on a short document describing the location where the vehicle was left and your request for us to remove it.

 The definitions for abandoned varies depending on the type of property the vehicle was abandoned on. It's broken down into three categories, private property, repair shop or public property.
