Good Day Everyone,

It's been quite a while since I posted on this forum. Decided to break the silence with a question. Our friend's husband died suddenly and we're helping the widow with the estate. Among other things, she has a '94 Volvo 940 sitting in her backyard. Was not driven for 5+ years. The car was registered only to the late husband, and she can't find the title, although she does have a long expired registration card. She wants to get rid of the car. If she can get a few bucks for it she will certainly be happy, but more importantly, she needs to make sure she gets rid of it properly, so that, for example, the car does not get sold to someone without the title and then used in a crime or something like that, and she does not need to spend lots of time running around dealing with red tape, lawyers and so on.

She's near Baltimore. I called one yard and they told me they would not accept this car without the title. So the question is: what's "the right way" for her to get rid of the car? Can she get any money for it? The car has all its parts I think -- at least it's not missing the engine or the transmission and is not all rusted out -- but I think it has a lot of miles on it.



Any info will be much appreciated!
