Yes and Yes. Would LOVE to get a valid title from someone who would list me as buyer. Would save me an immense amount of trouble as I could go to DMV and get titled in NC.

Re process: Yes. I have a KY bill of sale and a Kansas title. Problem is, the former owner never titled the truck in KY after acquiring from KS relative. Gave me a bunch of paperwork to get a KY title, but NC will have none of it.

Talked to my state Senator who put me in touch with DMV. DMV will accept a bond of some sort, but not the KS title. Basically, DMV wants a signature from a now-deceased relative of 'my' seller.

Too complicated for me.
