Let's close this thread. It's all a moot point since John is not doing the fundraiser, all this haranging is just adding more bad feelings.

Where's Joey's concerns about this? As site owner his is the most liability. I don't see him shutting down every benefit thread, every auction going on.
I dont want this to turn into a fight....
Ramenth's wife having passed away just days ago is another reason table this discussion.
Was memike an adult that could legally enter into a binding contract? Yes, he was. Can Tyler at 17 legally enter in to a contract? Laws vary from state to state so that is whay I suggested to check the laws in NJ. In Oklahoma Tyler can't enter into a contract.
I wasn't a member at that time or maybe it happened when I took a break from this site so I can offer absolutely nothing about this. I can say I have heard comments on how members were ripped off on this but that is my limit.
For what it is worth, and that aint much. I grew up in NJ, along time ago. At 17 years old I held a title to a 66 Mustang, as the sole owner. I just asked a friend that lives in NJ and has a 17 year old Daughter. Amy, the daughter, is the only name on the title to her car.
This would have solved the problem. Now tell me why this wasn't a logical answer so the process could have continued to acquire the car that belonged to Tyler's father? This is so simple that anyone should have the ability to comprehend it.
Logical, probably, especially from any attorney's viewpoint.
Get all the paperwork worked out in contractual form to where the title would be transferred directly to Tyler's mother’s name. She could then transfer it to Tyler. That would eliminate both the minor and the liability issues that anyone could be legally liable for. Consult your local attorney to see what the NJ laws are and what the safe way to do this would be.
As far as where the money comes from, and how it is distributed to the recipient, who is liable should a tragic event occur as a result of the purchased item, these are all scenarios that would likely cost 500 dollars or more to have written up by an attorney. The likelihood that something tragic would occur is an actuarial figure that might have to be included, who knows. How complicated does this need to get?
The fact is that the recipient, directly or indirectly, is currently 17 seems to be the issue, and is still legally a minor. So, if that was not the case, there would be no discussion?
Who gives a **** about liability. Close the thread before all respect is lost. Is it really that important to be right?
Blah blah blah.....there is no point. This was supposed to be about giving a kid a connection to his deceased Dad. I don't spend my life worrying about liability. If I did, I would never shoot a gun again, never have a burn pile, would have never swung a leg over a 145hp bike and tagged 180 mph on a deserted freeway....you get the idea. I have realized that there is things that I have little to no say over, and DON'T want to. My intention was to donate what funds I did and then let John and Tyler's mom sort it out, how they took care of the title is none of my concern. I don't have to have my hands all over every thing anymore like I did in the past.......there is a word for that sort of problem.....Control freak.....If you are that worried about getting sued over something maybe you should just become a hermit. I can not live by the world of what ifs.....Doug, You missed the point. Liability is the issue here and creating a contract to eliminate the liability issue. I know of a 6 year old that had a car title in their name in Oklahoma. How legal it is I have no idea but it was done.
Persons eighteen years of age and over are considered to be adults in the state of New Jersey, as specified in N.J.S.A. 9:17B-3.
I have googled many other New Jersey links that also say 18. I did state that laws vary from state to state from the begining. I could fill pages with links that say the same thing about 18. That is why I suggested contacting a New Jersey attorney to cover our butts or simply put everything in Tyler's moms' name. That would have been so simple, now wouldn't it?

Close this and let it end. For some the desire to be right is what drives them....and again, this to me is nothing but a control issue......Really sad that something that was supposed to be good turned into ugliness......
