Re: Free car?

Welcome to AF.
Some state's DMV's require people titling a vehicle that is free or a gift to fill out a special form that includes both parties names and info about the vehicle. I believe some states may impose a tax if the vehicle has a high value and you didn't pay anything for it.( But in most cases you'll jut need to fill out the form.) best thing to do is to check out your specific state's DMV website. your's would be : http://www.dmv.org/md-maryland/depar...r-vehicles.php
