Kentucky Title Processing Information

I've got the title in front of me now where do I sign?:
Release ownership by signing on line 2 on the "Title Of Transfer By Owner"section which can be found off to the left on the front face of the title. Due to Kentucky Law, it necessary for you to have the title notarized by a notary public if you sign it.
You'll want to provide the towing agent with a notarized title that's signed by you in two places indicated. The bill of sale is not required when selling or donating, but the DMV highly recommends that you keep a copy of this to protect you from possible liability claims between the time you sign over the title and the other party gets the vehicle registered. The Bill of Sale will protect you between the interim.
I'm the registered owner but I can't find my title:
The register owner of the vehicle can apply for a duplicate title if the original has been lost, stolen, destroyed, countered, or has become illegible. You will need to fill out the Application for title/registration VTR form # TC96-182 which must be notarized and signed by all registered owners. You will probably encounter a $6.00 title fee and a $2.00 notary fee if applicable.
If you are not able to obtain a negotiable title or the paperwork for a duplicate title, there is a chance the vehicle can be sold for Parts Only. If all liens have been satisfied and our office can verify the vehicle is lien free, the vehicle can be sold with a Bill of Sale for Parts only. We require written notification on Provider letterhead requesting the vehicle be sold for parts.
If you want to donate your vehicle and you don't have the title we can take care of the duplicate title process for you. You will just need to fill out the forms below and hold onto them until the tow agent comes to pickup your vehicle.
Notarized POA signed by all owners listed on the face of the title and a lien release if applicable.
The owner of the vehicle is deceased:
Visiting the Sick
In the case of Joint Tenancy: Right of Survivorship is presumed amongst spouses and transfer of ownership of the vehicle can be done with a certified copy of the Death Certificate and a signed title by the surviving spouse. If the Joint Ownership is other than between spouses, Right of Survivorship is noted on the title JTWROS and transfer of ownership would require the same documents as noted above.
In the case of a probated estate: You will need a copy of the death certificate, probate papers from the court,
and a properly signed title by the person appointed by the court.
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.
