Quite often, when buying / selling a car, especially an urgent one, the owners do not reissue the documents in full, but are limited to issuing a general power of attorney with the right to sell. Indeed, such a power of attorney gives the trustee almost complete freedom of action with the entrusted property, up to and including its sale to another owner. The only situation with which difficulties may arise is the need to re-register a car purchased under a general power of attorney for yourself. In this case, the owner under the general power of attorney has two ways to resolve the issue.
Instructions
Step 1
The first and the simplest is the standard procedure for re-registering a car for another owner with the presence of the owner. Together with the owner of your car, you contact the MREO at your place of residence, deregister the car and put it on record in your own name.
Step 2
This way of solving the problem is optimal, but it cannot always be used in practice. Sometimes there is simply no way to contact the previous owner, and if there is, it is not at all a fact that the owner will be ready to go to a meeting and spend his time on re-registering the car with you. How to be in this case?
Step 3
Yes, of course, a general power of attorney presupposes your right to sell and re-register a car, at the same time, there is a clear restriction in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation that prohibits an authorized person to carry out transactions with property entrusted to him in relation to himself (Article 182, Clause 3 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). In other words, the right to sell and re-register a car under a general power of attorney is valid exactly until you decide to re-register the car for yourself, your minor children and other persons for whom the trustee is a guardian or trustee. Therefore, in the absence of the owner of the car, you will not be able to reissue it to yourself, even with a general power of attorney. However, there is still a solution. You have the full right to re-register the car, for example, to your spouse, parents, adult children, any other person in relation to whom you are not a guardian or guardian.
Step 4
Then you can carry out the procedure of re-registration, already with the new owner, and finally, register the car for yourself. This way of solving the issue is longer and will require additional actions and the involvement of other people, but this is how the issue of re-registration can be resolved if the current owner of the car is out of reach.
