Yeah, that's what my father-in-law did with his car title. Then dementia took over and the place he'd remember was no more so now the car is sitting in our driveway and can't be registered, sold, or scrapped. NY State makes it impossible to handle this until the person dies and their estate is settled so we have a perfectly good Subaru Forester with 70k miles sitting in the driveway going bad and all we can do is watch it happen. So fucked :mad:
Gravity, looks like NY has an online lost title application? In Colorado it is really not a big deal. What do you want to do with the car? If you want to sell it, maybe car to an independent car dealer and let them deal with it.
Unfortunately he hasn't had a valid ID for 7 years and has no idea who he is or what year it is so we can't use the online form or go to the DMV due to being mostly immobile and having no ID to solve it in person either. The home the car was registered to has been sold so even if we fudge it the title can't be sent to the old address. What do I want to do with it? USE IT. I did ask a car dealer and was told that nobody will offer more than a few hundred dollars for it because of the no title issue because they're not allowed to store untitled or parts cars on the dealership property in NY and that few hundred would get eaten up when I pay a tow guy to transport it.
Wouldn’t power of attorney and an in person visit to motor vehicle work?
The main reason I use them is to get an idea of the long term forecast. A lot of apps only look forward a week or so. But where I am, accuweather actually is pretty accurate with the "rain starting/ending in x minutes" minutecast. So there's that too. I just don't need to know that for some town in China.
That sucks, sorry to hear. Would power of attorney allow you to take care of it? Failing that maybe sell into another state. Some states allow you to register a purchased vehicle with a missing title. (Guys here in CA often deal with that with dirt bikes they want to buy from out of state.)
Of all things, NYS DMV actually specifies that a POA can not be used to replace a lost title or change of address. It can be used to sell the vehicle or sell a home but not for something so fucking basic. I've been trying to find a lawyer that specializes in DMV law but all I ever find is traffic ticket fixers. I have also tried to get an appointment with the title division at DMV headquarters in Albany but apparently this problem doesn't qualify. If anyone knows a DMV lawyer point me in their direction.
@evdog - We tried to trade it to a Hyundai dealer in CT and they said no problem, just bring your dad with his valid State Issued photo ID and he can sign a form...
I got empathy for ya. I've signed myself up for that duty but lucky my dad has really prioritized having their affairs in order. It sounds like your FIL, is lucky he's got you.
Assuming you have POA, the form 902 seems to indicate that the may be worth giving it a shot. Its just gonna come down to the human that opens the envelope. Stuff that envelope full of whatever documentation you've got and a letter explaining the situation.
So I go to PT for my radiation-fried neck about once a month. Wednesday I go in there and the woman's wearing a mask. She's worn one a lot through covid so I didn't think much of it. She's there about a foot a way from me massaging my neck and she starts to hack up a lung. She goes in the bathroom, coughing her brains out, then finally comes back.
She says, "I guess the cold meds wore off, sorry. I took yesterday off because I was too sick but I really needed to work today."
Last night I started hacking and now I'm sick as a dog. WTF, lady? You didn't even tell me until you had to? Annoying as a motherfucker.
Healthcare workers are the worst when it comes to staying home if they’re ill and physicians are the worst of the bunch.

Funny you say that, I have an appointment with my rep on Tuesday when he has hours in the local office for something else. It looks like I'm asking him for two things.
Probably so shitty kids can't steal their senior parents cars when they're not paying attention. I bet a lot of times when people are aging and money is needed kids do bad things and the state is trying to protect them. It's crazy though because you can sell a house with a POA.
Meh I don't feel too bad, I was sure it was a cold but my wife got me to test and voila. This fucking year, though...I've taken some lumps this year for sure.
I'm supposed to fly to Utah Wednesday, not sure what the plan is on that. Apparently this year's covid is a lot milder and shorter, if I test negative I'm gonna go. Haven't quite figured out what to do if I test positive. I'm not gonna get on a plane if I'm still positive.
At least I'm in good company.
Bummer we're in the same boat, B and ZZZ. Feel better (and I'll try to do the same)
I always bring a good N95 in my carry-on these days. Couple months ago I sat next to a guy who was coughing and sneezing, I said wtf guy and popped on my mask while he made excuses.
Well that will be the last time I engage a Pivot heel by hand. X-rays pending.

Yikes. Time to switch to attacks
Oof. That's gotta sting a little.
How did the smash happen, exactly?
Free the heel; fix the finger
Like this?

Yes, exactly, though that's way worse than mine.
