What forms do i need to transfer a car title that has a lein?

I am separating. the car that is to be given to me in the separation agreement is in his name alone, both on the title and the lien. What forms do I need to transfer ownership since I do not have the title?

You will not be able to transfer ownership but you may be able to have a DMV power of attorney signed to allow you to act on behalf of the title owner until the title can be transferred.
