Reply to comment by augie_wartooth in Dmv and gifting a car by ssgonzalez11

I appreciate you asking!

She’s had a brain injury and will likely not be able to drive again. She’s kept the car for about 4 years hoping that her abilities would change but they’ve gotten worse with time. She’d like to gift it to her partner as cheaply as possible.

One other thought I just had is she could contact the Virginia Lawyer Referral Service and talk to a lawyer. It’s $35 for a 30 minute consultation, and might help her figure out how to make it work.

Ok that’s awesome! Thanks. I don’t know if she’s considered that.

Gotcha. I’m sorry to hear what she’s going through. I wonder if she could sell it to her partner for an amount he can get together and then basically just return the money in exchange for something else. I have no idea of legality of this but just a thought.

Thanks. We have considered that, but it looks like the tax cost would be the same and we think it will be best to just gift it and pay the taxes but I was hoping someone knew the ins and outs better. It’s hard relearning a whole new state and it’s intricacies.
