Selling our jeep

[haleema]

I bought a jeep and put all the documents in my husband's name.

Am I able to sell our jeep even though it isn't in my name or can I sell the jeep without having the original documents?

You would have to have a power of attorney in order to sell as it requires a change in title. and his signature as the seller,

You'd be selling somebody else's property.
Better be on good terms with your husband otherwise you could go to jail.
Furthermore you need the original 'matricula' to sell the vehicle so a 'traspaso' can be done.

Thanks for your replies. I'll see if he's willing to add my name to the matricula, since it was me that paid for the car.

Also, do you know of a good english speaking lawyer that you could recommend? We bought a piece of land well over two years ago and we still don't have the titulo in our names. We have built two properties on this piece of land and wish to sell everything now. I'm assuming we can't sell unless the land is in our name. Is this correct?

Correct.
Nowadays title AND 'deslinde' are required.
BTW, building on land without having a title for it should be avoided.

Yes, we realise this now. We're a bit nervous that we could lose everything if the process isn't speeded up.

Is there a way we could speed things up. I'm looking for an english speaking lawyer that can explain more clearly.

Apologies. We live in Santiago.

You can still sell even without the title but you should chase it and start the Deslinde process. I don't have any lawyer contacts in Santiago.
If you add your name to the jeep paperwork you will be a joint owner but will still need your husband's signature or a POA to sell it.

Well that's a relief to know we can still sell the land etc. We will still need a lawyer, in order, to explain to me the stage at which we are in now. It's been over two years. My husband has been in contact with a couple of lawyers throughout this time and we are, apparently, waiting for the name change to be completed at the judicial courts. But like I said, I would like everything explained to me in english for peace of mind.

As for the jeep. This morning, my husband has agreed to sell the jeep.
