Know What You Are Doing Before Donating A Truck To Charity

Sunday, May 30th, 2010

The great thing about donating trucks or cars to charity is that you can make the donations anytime from just about anywhere. There are Goodwill organizations all across the nation that will take your donation, so no matter where you live, you can give to a good cause.

Goodwill Industries is known for its awareness programs and services that bring help and education to those in need in small towns across America. These programs get most of their money by selling donated trucks, cars, planes, boats, motorcycles, etc. Even if you have an old clunker that you have no use for, Goodwill charities may still accept it.

Before you do give it away to a truck donation charity, however, you want to make sure you understand the following:

• Do research on the charities you’re thinking about donating to . Check with the Better Business Bureau to find the best charities.

• Look over the yearly reports carefully to find out how much money they received from the sales of donated trucks and cars. How did they handle that money?

• confer with a financial advisor or lawyer if you’re still unsure about which organization to donate a truck to.

• Make sure you have the vehicle’s title ready to present to the charity when making your donation.

• After making your donation, keep in mind that the charity has an obligation to send you an acknowledgement within 30 days of selling your donated truck or car.

You can always consult with professionals if you need any assistance. Also, there is plenty of info online, including tools and resources, on how to donate a truck or car. These resources will allow you to make sure that you are doing things properly and donating your vehicle to the right organization.

Is it legal to raffle a car in the state of New Jersey?

Friday, December 18th, 2009

I am trying to recoup costs of a car which I purchased last year. Basically it costs a decent amount of money (30,000) and I wish to attempt to sell tickets for a raffle which would allow the winner to then own the car and I would keep the raffle money. Im not sure if that is legal in the state of New Jersey, so I wanted to see if anyone knew if this was possible. Thanks for your help.

My advice is to speak to a lawyer and the best, most inexpensive way to do this is through Pre-Paid Legal Services. For more information visit the website below, and feel free to contact me through that site if you have further questions on how this service may be able to help you. I encourage you to find out what your rights and options are in this situation.

I wish you the best of luck.

Does a lawyer need to be involved with a used car sale between 2 folks when the seller is self-financing it?

Monday, November 30th, 2009

I’m hoping someone who knows law sees this question. Both parties in this car sale,will be signing a typed contract with the terms spelled out: the payment, the due date, the interest rate, the # of months, the amount financed, etc. But, does this contract have to be run through a lawyer in any fashion to be legal or will it stand up in court without involving one?

NO! A contract for an auto is binding in court. I would do several tings to protect the seller and the buyer.
1. Get copies of drivers license.
2 Get copies of current insurance (Liability, comp and collision)
3 Add affidavit stating insurance must be current at all times
4 List yourself as lienholder on back of title.
5 File title with state
6 Sign all papers at the BANK in front of notaty this holds up in court (the bank gives you and buyer security when exchanging money)
