<human>:  If I change the name on a car title to mine, is it then my car legally?
<bot>: Hi, it depends on your state and the circumstances of the vehicle transfer. In most cases, a seller transfers legal title to a buyer after payment has been made, and the buyer owns the vehicle legally. Vehicle transfer laws vary by state and I suggest checking with your state DMV to be sure. If you wish to transfer vehicle ownership to yourself, the DMV will require a title transfer application and appropriate payment.
