This has probably been discussed here before, but I can't find anything in search...
I have a line on a dual sport for sale in NH, seller and I have agreed on pricing but turns out the guy never re-titled the bike in his name. He had the title with original owners signature and his own and took it to the town hall last night, and is now waiting for the updated title from the state. He sent me a pic with the original title FWIW, so this isn't a case of seller saying something BS.
I realize that the title is what determines ownership, but right now the wait for a title is up to 50 days, according to the NH DMV website.
Is there a way to buy a bike while the title is "in process", like maybe write up a contract? Or should I just wait a month until he gets it for my own safety?
