§ 1111.12. Certificate of title and certificate of origin not subject to judicial process

Cite as: 47 CNCA § 1111.12

A. A certificate of title or a certificate of origin does not by itself provide a right or a means to obtain possession of the vehicle covered by the certificate and is not itself subject to garnishment, attachment, levy, replevin, or other judicial process against property. However, this act does not prohibit enforcement of a security interest in, levy on, or foreclosure of a statutory or common law lien on, a vehicle, as permitted under law other than this act. The absence of an indication of a statutory or common law lien on a certificate of title does not invalidate the lien.

B. This section does not relieve a person of any duty under this act or law other than this act or preclude any remedies in personam.
