My roommate moved out and left her car at my house in Cincinnati, Ohio. I have told her a lot of time to come get it and she hasn’t. Can I insure and get the title under my name?

If your friend does not want the vehicle anymore then maybe you can meet her so that she can sign it over to you. If you can no longer contact her and either want the vehicle removed or titled under your name so you can drive it or sell it then you will need to contact your DMV and possibly police department to determine what steps you need to take.

According to the Cincinnati, Ohio clerk of the court, if you have a vehicle abandoned on your property you need to contact first your local law enforcement office, because each area has different rules on this. Some law enforcement agencies will come to your property and remove the car, some will say it is on your property and you will have to check who the owner is and contact them.

You may contact your your local court house or local Department of Motor Vehicles to check on how in your area you can get your former roommate’s abandoned car titled and insured in your name.
