New Owner, Humbly Looking for Guidance

It might be a good idea to get the title and maybe even have it signed over, that way there isn't any question of ownership. I could see that solving a lot of problems before they start. In Michigan a notarized bill of sale for $1 indicates a sale and is all you need to start the ownership transfer process Your department of motor vehicles or whatever they call themselves in your state can provide solid answers. Best of luck!!!
