My spidy senses are tingling. So I talk to a lawyer this morning. He said (like a lot of you) the best way to do this is you both go to the bank, plop down 10K and have him sign the title there and then. So I decided that is the way I would proceed. I give this guy a call and tell him the plan. Now, all of a sudden, the bank doesn't have title, the state has title, so they can't produce it to sign it over. That was it, I had enough. I told him that I was sorry, but unless I had that title in my hand at the same time I put 10K on the table, I would have to walk. I told him that it's not that I don't trust him, and he then interrupted me and got a nasty. He said, well, it is that you don't trust me in a very nasty tone. I told him that trust isn't the issue, it's business. Suppose that while you are waiting for this title, something happens to you. A car wreck, a lawsuit, A heart attack, a meteor drops from the sky, whatever, your kids get a free camper, and I'm out. He told me the kids would sign it over to me because it's the right thing to do. I said I'm sure they would, but they would be under no legal obligation to do so. I'm thinking this guy was trying to pull something at this point. I was still even nice about it and told him if he could get a clear title, I would give him the 10K that day. I think I should get props for being professional and nice. Anyway, the search for an affordable travel trailer continues.

you have to protect yourself and if he was legit he would understand and not get mad.
so he is either illegit or an un-reasonable and angry person either way walk is the right move
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

With the way the ACTUAL economy is trailers may be at a premium, people moving into them selling their homes they no longer can afford!
Oh forgot …..LOL

You did the right thing. I get roped into watching a few of these judge shows where this very thing happens.
Recently on one of the shows, there was a guy who bought a car from a person who said he didn't have the title with him because he had just paid the car off. The bank was mailing the title back to him and he would forward it to the buyer once he got it in the next couple of days.
Turns out the guy still owed money on the car and the bank wouldn't release the title until the car was paid off. The judge ruled in favor of the plaintiff who was awarded $5,000. He had paid the seller $8,000 for the car and was out $3,000 as the maximum the judge could allow was $5,000.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.

Right now seems like everybody around is running into questionable title deals . Several acquaintances have run into things with titles hung up in probate that the kids are trying to sell

Don't know how things work in PA. But in Ind. the state doesn't own squat. I'm the state along with every other Ind. citizen. You did the right thing, someone still has interest in that trailer and they aren't signing over until paid. Just like any other government Fed. Or State. The people own the real property as well as the money in any and all accounts. The govt. may hold it in trust, but the people own it. Your 10 grand ahead, the right deal will come along, and you will sleep better for it. JMO. Good luck.
