My Brother in law (and wife) live in South Carolina. They have a car they want to gift to us (or pay $1 for)

My wife and his wife are sisters.

If his and her name are on the title, can they gift it to us (so we don't have to pay sales taxes on it) ?

Ive tried researching the laws etc, and it seems sister-sister can gift a car. But what if his name is on it as well (do titles have 2 names?)

And how confusing is it to do this? They are driving it up next month, and I want to get all the paperwork done ahead of time, if possible.

KBB says the car is worth $9K +/-.

There are forms on the RMV (MA) website, but there must be more work to do than just that....

TIA

Yes, very straightforward and no sales tax for sister to sister transfer.


This spells it all out
