Vehicle Repossession Legal Rights

Summary

Jardani and Ellabel have been making payments on vehicles co-signed by Raul, but the vehicles were repossessed by Rauls brother without a legitimate order. Despite having proof of payment and ownership agreements, the vehicles remain in possession of Rauls brother. Since the vehicles are legally under Rauls name, Jardani and Ellabels legal standing may be complicated. They might consider pursuing legal action to recover the vehicles based on their payment history and agreements. Consulting a local attorney could provide guidance on reclaiming the vehicles and addressing the repossession issue.

Jardani and his mother, Ellabel, have been making all payments on two vehicles originally co-signed by Raul. Despite having notarized agreements and a legal contract confirming Jardani and Ellabel’s ownership and payment responsibility, both vehicles were repossessed in March * by Raul’s brother, who claimed authority through power of attorney, even though the banks confirmed no repossession orders had been issued. Jardani and Ellabel have receipts and bank records showing full payment history. A temporary court restriction order against them was lifted after a hearing found no evidence of financial abuse, but the vehicles remain in Raul’s brother’s possession.
It sounds like a complex situation. Here are some general legal points that might be relevant to your case in Washington:
- Power of attorney does not automatically grant the right to repossess property; it depends on the specific terms.
- If the vehicles were taken without a legitimate repossession order, this could potentially be theft or conversion.
- Since you have proof of payment and ownership, you might consider pursuing legal action to recover the vehicles.

So on the car titles, they are in Rauls name, technically because it was his credit that was used for the car loans but all the payments have been made by Jardani and Ellabel
Thanks for sharing more details. It seems the vehicles are legally under Raul's name, which complicates the ownership claim by Jardani and Ellabel.
