Hello.
I liked a car listed on internet by private seller who lives in Victoria. Went through inspection, got it checked by mechanic, checked registration on Vicroads website, did PPSR check, and all came clear. After agreeing on the price with the seller, I came to know that family is moving overseas, hence they are selling the car.
Car is registered to his wife's name. The registration is on her name, the original receipt when they bought the car in 2012 shows her name, but she has already left Australia with the kids and waiting for her husband to join them overseas after he sells off their car and remaining other things.
He was saying that he can fill the registration transfer form on her behalf and I can pay for the car by transferring the amount to their joint bank account. I don’t know whether he can sell the car, which is on his wife's name. Is he able to do that legally? What documents I should ask him to cover myself if we go ahead with the sale?
I don’t want someone to come and claim the car ownership in the future.
Please help me on this situation.
Thanks
