I need some legal advice.

Ok, my very nieve 18yr. old stuck her daddy plug (daddy pasted in Jan. he was dilligaff) in an xxxxxxx boyfriend and made some very stupid mistakes and now we need some advice. Let's see if you can follow along. 
When Rob died, our daughter got a couple thousand $ from SS. With the money she wanted to buy her first car. I thought is was a great idea. Little did I know, she and the cad (my name for the boyfriend unit) went up to Pa. and bought a car. He convinced her because it was bought in Pa and she didn't have a licsense yet, they should register it where he lives and in his name. I know, hell of a lesson she is learning. On top of that, he convinced her that they should get a place together. Needless to say she put money in to that too. It turns out his parents were kicking him out and he didn't have a decent job and money. This started in May. As expected his name is on all the paperwork and he kept the car and the money for the apt. What really gets under my skin is the fact that it was Rob's death benifit money. We are looking at nearly $5000.00. I am planning on going to small claims court with this but the only proof we have is the money she took out of her passbook and maybe a couple of witnesses who will attest to the fact he knowingly xxxxxx my daughter. One question is do we file here in Md or in Pa.? Does anyone have any other advise I should be thinking about. Yes, the last thing I said to him is "I hope you grow a conscience". I could have said allot more but this 21 yr. old boy has been an xxxxxxx to me and my daughter beyond belief and there is nothing legally we can do but this.

Feel for you bro. If all your efforts don't work, then I can only hope your daughter learned a life lesson that will stay with her forever. I would be a small price to pay if she recognizes the mistake and never but never lets anyone get one over on her again.
Good luck with whatever happens.

Thank you and it is sis. Rob was my love for 27yrs. Thanks for the thought.

So, did she at least co-sign on the car/lease? If she didn't then its pretty much game-over. I feel for her on this because I have a friend who went through this a couple years back. It'll be viewed (legally) as a "gift" from her to him. So court wouldn't be suggested as you guys may lose and end up paying out more to the aforementioned loser boyfriend (i'm assuming by now he's ex-boyfriend, and that's what got this mess started). But, if you still feel it's necessary to go to court I wish you the best of luck.

That is why I've waited so long to do anything because she really has no paper trail, just a bunch of good friends willing to stick up for her, including a few in his own family. Believe me the 1st thing I wanted to do is get a posse together. Yes, they are over. We are not going to do anything illegal. Thanks for the advise.

I am in the car business..... Sad course of events and I am sorry for you. If I see this type of thing I try to give some advise. End of the day.... It's gonna be a expensive lesson for her. I hope that she makes better choices in the future. Not a whole lot that you can do.

I was afraid of that and knew it but had to try. Thanks for the advice.

Every state law is different as to what the law is with respect to ownership and whose name is on the registration material.
I am admitted as an attorney in MD, and I can tell you that MD has a relatively odd rule as to auto ownership. Feel free to PM me and I can steer you in the right direction.
