Here is how someone in Louisiana can get a title for a car with out being able to locate the original title, OR THE LAST PERSON THE TITLE WAS HELD BY!
M.(1) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, the office of motor vehicles shall issue to a person in good faith possession of a vehicle a certificate of title for the vehicle even if there is no bill of sale and no current record of ownership upon which to base the issuance of a new title, provided:
(a) The vehicle is twenty-five years old or older.
(b) The vehicle has not had its registration renewed in this state or any other state for a period of three years immediately prior to the application for the title.
(c) The applicant has submitted the sworn affidavit or affidavits of two people who shall attest on their own personal knowledge that the vehicle has been abandoned for three or more years.
(d) The applicant has provided to the office of motor vehicles a statement from the state police auto theft division obtained by a local law enforcement agency confirming that, based upon a check by photo or rub of a vehicle body identification plate, the vehicle is not listed as stolen.
(e) The person is not otherwise subject to the provisions of Chapter 4-A of this Title.
(2) The applicant for the title shall apply to the office of motor vehicles for registration. No title shall be issued for one year, during which time the applicant may have the vehicle in his possession, but shall not have official title to the vehicle. If, at the end of one year, no one has proven ownership of the vehicle, the applicant shall be issued a certificate of title.
