I Intend buying a car from a lady.But the car is register in another person's name which she claims is her husband.the problem is that,her husband is not in the country for me to easily confirm this information.My concern is this, how do i know she has the authourity to sell the car? Because i want to avoid a situation whereby after buying the car,and the man comes around and said he did'nt give her permission to sell. Before you know it becomes a police case and all that.So please am seeking your advice on the best way to go about it.All the lawyers in the house i need your opinion.

Thanks.[color=#000099][/color]

[color=#000099]I'm not a lawyer but I'd rather you leave the car unless she has a change of ownership certificate on her name.
Better still, try talk to the husband.
In doing that, beware of syndicates
