How do I re-title and move the registration of my vehicles from my personal name to a Trust?

MOVING A VEHICLE INTO A TRUST

If your vehicles are 2000 or newer, you will sign the back of the title(s) over to your trust. Although the vehicles will be titled in just your Trust's name, your name can still appear first on your registration as Trustee only (no personal ownership) to keep your birthday month as your month of registration expiration and vehicle inspection.  Or, you can do it as a NEW registration with no names on the registration. 

Adding the Trust as a Second Owner can be done at any time for the $27

If you want ONLY the Trust’s name on the registration (removing current primary owner), we recommend making that change at renewal time.

If putting it in the trust at time of purchase, the name of the trust must be listed as the buyer in all Title and Bill of Sale paperwork.

In order to complete this, you'll need to bring the following:

  • Trustee must be present to sign the Title Applications.
  • Original titles to the vehicles - which will need to be signed over on the back by the buyer and seller(s) with Odometer on date of re-titling.  The buyer should ONLY include the full correct name of the trust as it appears in the Trust Documents. 
  • The first and last pages of the Signed Trust Document or the Trust Certification document issued by your attorney
  • A government issued ID 
  • The current odometer on the vehicles
  • The current registrations to the vehicles
  • Payment in cash, check, or credit card (2.99% fee).  The cost will be $2.00 for the Town and $25.00 for the State for each title as long as your vehicles are currently registered and we only need to add the Trust name second on the registration
