    Best Way to get a title

    Have the second owner get a title in their name and then you are good. Without the second owner doing the proper paperwork, he NEVER legally owned it in the eyes of Iowa, Wisconsin or Illinois. so legally he cant sell it to you. He will probably have to pay arrears as well
