Title transfer question

[ABV]

I'm going to transfer the title on a vehicle that hasn't been used in 11 years. I don't want to be responsible for 11 years worth of tab renewals, so I need to get a signed statement from the current owner that the vehicle has not been used over that time period. Has anyone dealt with this before? I remember doing this on a car once, but there was a form that I had filled out and had the owner sign. I called up the DMV and they said there was no form, and all I needed was a signed statement.

I want to make sure that I don't get owned when I transfer this title, so I want to see if anyone knows of a form that I can download to make sure that I have everything I need when I go in there. A part of me thinks that whoever I talked to at the DMV was misinformed, or just plain didn't know what they were talking about. I might have to just stop in there and ask them, but I hate waiting for 20 minutes to ask a 30 second question.

This wouldn't be such a big deal, but the owner lives in Fairmont and I want to take care of all of this in one shot without dragging it out and bugging the owner with maling and signing forms, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark
