If the receipt was made out to your Brother then you are correct, he would be the legal owner.

This is just painful now. I bought it, I paid cash, I gave it to him as a present, he then became the owner, that crisp 25th of December morning.

Why would you claim that I am still the owner, once I've given it as a present? I've gifted it, given him legal title, forfeited my claim to said car...

You don't seem to understand how presents work, I feel.

I know how presents work, I bought my Brother a Playstation 3 a few years ago for Christmas.

Thanks

So then why do you believe that I am still the owner of something that I have given as a gift?

Are you making some obtuse point that I am not picking up, or do you genuinely believe that you can't give a car as a gift?

If you recall, that was what you were claiming when you said that the person who pays for it must be the owner.

Calm down, I think you are confusing my post with moongardens reply.

Generally you buy a car and get a receipt from the seller(owner), that's your proof of ownership. You can gift the car away if you want, never said you couldn't. Would be a good idea to transfer the title by way of a similar receipt.

Anyway all of this doesn't help the OP.
