How do you plan on getting the title notarized? Unless you or the seller are bringing a notary along you are going to have to meet up with the seller again anyway. Much less head aches to do this stuff during buisness hours at the BMV.
Not to hijack the OPs thread but I'm fairly new to Ohio and have the same situation later this evening.
If the seller has his signature notarized on the title before they meet it should be as simple as handing over the keys and the document. Then the buyer can have his signature on the title notarized at a later time right? I hope this is the case as I plan on doing this later today.
You MIGHT be able to get away with that but that is not how it is supposed to work and a notary should not sign off unless everything is complete on the title and that includes both parties of the sale and the final sale price. Personally I would not chance it.
You have to get a title notarized before the seller can turn it over to the buyer? That's absurd.
No, the seller can turn the car over to the buyer when every he/she wants. What would be absurd is giving your money or vehicle to a stranger with out all the paperwork in order to transfer the vehicle. I wouldn't do it, would you?
Not sure I follow. If I'm selling they give me a wad of cash, I give them signed title, a BOS, and a set of keys. I never hear from or think about them again. If I'm buying, I give them a wad of cash, they give me a signed title, a BOS, and the keys. They never hear from me again. I/they couldn't give a shit less how the vehicle gets from point A to point B after that, as it's no longer my/their car. No notary need be bothered until the title is taken in for registration by the new owner (I assume it's notarized at that point, I've never paid attention, and certainly never had to do anything special beyond giving the paperwork to the DMV drone).
