Does having my vehicle owned by a trust keep me from being held liable if someone else wrecks it?

By having the trust own the vehicle you are separating yourself from the liability. The trust still has to pay insurance on the vehicles. But I really don't think it totally cuts you out of the picture.

That's begging for big trouble.\nIf anything happens the insurance is no good, they wont pay any damages.\nIf the owner of the car knowingly allows you to drive that's criminal charges most of the time.\nThe car can be impounded even without an accident.\nUnlicensed driving can keep you from getting a license later.\nYou can be hung up with no transportation far from home.\nIf the car gets stolen you cant turn it in to police. b\nla, bla,bla, so on and so on. \nDo something else.

If you agreed to diagnostics but not repairs at the main dealer, you should not need to pay. Report the local garage to the Trading Standards to deal with what could be a scam.

Not having your own insurance to go after the other drivers insurance is always difficult.  You may need to hire an insurance lawyer.  If you have the police report that states the other driver was at fault, then you are in the right.  It sounds like the other driver has a shady insurance company.  Probably one of those last chance places that will insure anybody.  His insurance should have repaired your car by now.  Have you told the insurance company that you have the police report?  If you have, and they have not responded to you, you need to obtain the services of a lawyer right away.  You can always include your legal fees in the settlement with the insurance company.

the insurance company is representing the driver, therefore it is them that you take to court.  your insurance company would do the same for you.  someone wants to take you to court for an accident you had, they would go to court for you and defend you if they believe they have a case.

Ultimately your son is responsible. I he does not have the financial means to fix the damages then you as his parent are responsible. If you don't feel that to be the case then think of it this way. You deposit money into a savings account thereby giving them permission to use it for loans, if the bank get robbed of all their funds are they responsible to you?

You can try to turn it into your insurance, but if questioned, you will be backed into a corner.  You stated you were putting him on as a second driver, did you or not?  \n\nNever, NEVER "rent" your vehicle out or rent one for someone!  Even if you know the person.  \n\nClaim fraud with what company?  Credit Card?  If you rented the vehicle and did not put his name as a second driver and they have proof you rented, damage reports, pictures, etc, you are liable.  Your insurance is not going to go after John Doe either.  It was your responsibility.  \n\nGood luck.

You can put anything you own into a revocable trust EXCEPT IRA's and 401k"s and sometimes insurance limitations preclude placing autos in trusts. You are going to place your capital gain into a bank account, CD, brokerage account, another house or somewhere.  Wherever that capital gain goes that account can be included in your revocable trust.

Why risk it? It will eventually catch up to you. When you get caught you will have to fork over probably more money not to mention time wasted which could have been used else where while your trying to clear things up. TAKE CARE OF IT. and yah a majority of the states do share DMV info.

Only if you can prove he knew about it.\n\nHis liability is determined by your state laws, possibly some federal laws or administrative rules (EPA).\n\nCheck with a local attorney for more specific advise.\n\nAnd, you may want to take action as soon as you can because if the oil tank is leaking and contaminating other people's property, you could be liable.

above posts are right. actually you are the owner as u have the title. so if they do anything illigal with that car u r the one who would b sued. they will be considered you agents.

The insurance co. should get the $$$ back from the owner if they gave the owner a check for the loss of the ATV.  If the restitution was court ordered you may be stuck.  Depending on the state you could pay the restitution then file a civil claim against the ATV owner.

They can/will reposes the car, then sue you for the cost of the car and the reposession. But they cannot insure that the county aty will go after you, they can only make a reccomendation of action. But more likely they will go after you. If you dont' cooperate they will kick your butt finacially-Just cooperate and give them the car. It will be cheaper in the end and they may even give you a chance to get out of the contract.

Nope you are well within the limit, but most all dealers have signs posted about being not liable for damage etc. It's a bad cop out but I bet your dealer has such signs.

legally whoever name is on the title(just like a car) owns the trailer. that dosen't mean they don't owe you the appreciated value of it if they went back on the deal but you would have to sue for it! agreements are both verbal and written but still binding.

No it is not illegal to let them.  You might check to see what kind of insurance the other person has, or check you own policy to see if their covered while driving another persons car.

You could try, but it will probably just cost you more money in court costs in the end anyway, from experience I have learned that you could have all the evidence in your favor, and the judge will still side with the police, at least your car was not damaged and was in piece when you gt it back. I had mine towed unlawfully recently, and they really fucked it up!!!! Good luck!!!! I hope you don't live in Illinois, if so don't EVEN bother trying to fight it, no contest!!!!
