What is a joint transfer of ownership of an automobile?
Joint transfer of ownership is nothing more than the official transfer of ownership of a vehicle from one person to another. One or both persons involved may also be legal persons if the ownership is a company or an entity.
Usually after the purchase and sale the buyer and seller carry out the practical transfer of ownership at an automobile practice agency or at an ACI office. This way involves an increase in costs but is more convenient for the less experienced. Despite this, it is always possible to carry out the transfer of ownership jointly and save on paperwork costs.
