A title problem, but I want to buy. How handle?

What specific title problem is it?


The FAA Registry shows ownership in the name of the person who owned
it three 'generations' ago. We believe we have a collection of Bills
of Sale, but no one told the FAA. - Mike

I believe if you have the sequential original BOS's to establish the chain
to the last owner that you can file them all together along with the one
transfering
legal ownership to you. Sounds like it just hasn't been reregistered each
time.
Have you visited with your local FSDO?

The FSDO offered to give me a number in OKC. - Mike
You're probably correct that it just hasn't been re-registered each
time - Mike

Sounds like a no brainer. From your original post it sounded like
someone had a cliam or lean against the plane. The FAA doesn't try to
establish who owns the plane. There is no title.

Simple... ask a lawyer first. :-)

Find that person, and have them "quit claim" it to you.

Yep, A couple of years ago someone bought a Cessna 195 my Grandfather had
owned back in the early 50's. He called tracked me down and called and asked
if I would sign a quit claim. I said sure but you owe me a flight after you
ever in the area. About six months later I got a call from him and he flew
in and we went up for about 45 minutes. A very cool plane.
