Question

I got into an accident with someone. We decided to settle on our own and I have a auto accident release form prepared. My question is if they are the person that got in the accident but are not the legal owner/person on the registration can they sign it binding the legal owner to the agreement or does the legal owner need to sign it? The person is above 18 so they can sign a contract.



Answer

It would seem to make sense that you have this agreement reviewed by an attorney. You would be well-advised to have the operator and the registered owner release you. One person cannot legally bind another.
