[quote=Anonymous]Some in the family really want the car out of there. Relative says she will not request a copy of the title from DMV or sign one until she has the keys back. Now says she will get a key from the dealer despite the cost.

I think one motive is to drive to the liquor store, another driving and health concern given medications being taken.

A doctor can get the DMV to pull the license but I don't see how you legally remove someone's car that they are the sole owner of? She is paying huge amounts in insurance on a car sitting in the garage. Before returning home she seemed on board to sell it or give it away as soon as a title was found or ordered and get the balance of the high insurance premium refunded. Now, a 180. Wonder how sincere the agreement was and if it was just saying what people wanted to hear. Sheriff said if there is any type of accident they can require an assessment of fitness to drive, but not before. License expires in a few months and I doubt it would be renewed, she has always spoken of stopping driving at that birthday anyway.

It's all so ugly and unfortunate. I could see her reporting it stolen. It's difficult.

She has AAA so if the car did not operate she would call them. [/quote]
