How do you get a title for an abandoned motorcycle in Massachusetts it was left on my property and i can't get in contact with the owner?

I would say right up front MA is a pain to do abandon titles there are procedure in place that if you do all the steps you still may not get the title.all tiles are transferable from one state to another.

In Ma it is according to the year of the bike as to what procedure to use. There are states that will title for out of starters with a notarized Bill of sale or statement of fact, the bike needs to be 1992 or below. You need to contact a Statutory agent in the representing state. Best way is to use a vehicle title service for this. one that is a agent of the state is best, WWW.GetNewtitle.com is the one I work for . If the bike is 1993 or newer there are other states that will title the vehicle in your name with either a bond or a VIN verification form. Getnewtitle does these also. If you chose to go thru the abandon procedure in Ma there are specific kinds of abandon forms. abandon on Private property, abandon at Repair shop. Police tow. Each has it own process of public advertising and vehicle VIN check in a certain number of states. It might be a good idea to go to the locale police and have them run a NCIC check. In Ma you may do evry thing right and still not get the title.
