Reader’s Question:
My sixteen year old daughter has a vehicle that is titled under my name and I would like to know if we can get the title and automobile insurance under her name. We live in Anderson, Indiana.

I did not find any information in Anderson, Indiana on minors not allowed to title, register and insure the vehicle under their name but generally a minor that is under the age of 18 must title and insure the vehicle with their parents or legal guardian with them. You may check if you can put the name of your daughter in the title as the secondary owner of the car and once she turns 18, you can transfer the full ownership to her.
As for the car insurance in Anderson IN, car insurance policy is a legal contract and most insurance carriers would require that teens under the age of eighteen have their parents of legal guardian sign the contract with them. As a parent, you will be held liable for your daughter’s negligent actions. Although your daughter may be able to register and get insurance under her name, you will be responsible for her until she turns 18.
