Car Title Run Around !! Grrr

I have a bill of sale from the guy I got it from..but the last registered owner is dead and hard to collect the bill of sale from. lol.
I think I am onto a path of what I need to do now.
DusterDude ! thanks for the links. I was checking those out when you posted. Been researching and calling on this all day. It doesnt sound like that form is the same as the TR-205, but I am now working with someone at the Sec of State office that is trying to help me as well. Discovered doing a lein is a no-go deal. So onward.... think I am on the right track now.
The Bonded title is kinda a screwy deal here too. Wouldnt it be great if all the states were the same !

Appreciate all the help people !
Maybe some one in MI needs to buy this car from me for a few weeks !!
