Which Coast Guard form?
Can someone enlighten me about the following:
In the case of a documented vessel purchased jointly (50/50) by husband and
wife - and now owned solely by the wife as a result of a divorce settlement,
which Coast Guard should be used - CG-1258, CG-1340 or CG-1270 ?
If it is considered a "Transfer of Interest", then it would appear to me
that it would be sufficient to use CG-1270: Certificate of Documentation and
just have both parties sign on the reverse - have the signatures notarized
and then mail the certificate with an $8. check to the NVDC, based on the
following - Interest in vessel may be transferred by last documented
owner(s) on reverse of original Certificate of Documentation. Original
signature(s) of seller(s) must be acknowledged before a notary public.
But perhaps that ain't so.....
Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
Claus
