Nevada Revised Statute Section 205.2747: Unlawful Transferring of A Motor Vehicle

The statute that addresses the unlawful transfer of assignment of rights or interest in a motor vehicle is found in Nevada Revised Statute section 205.2747. According to the relevant law, any person who is not a party to a lease contract, retail installment contract or security interest, is not permitted to transfer or assign any right or interest in a motor vehicle subject to the contract or security agreement if the contract or agreement prohibits such a transfer to someone not originally in the contract.

Anyone not parties to the contract or security interest is forbidden not only from transferring or assigning a right or interest in a leased vehicle but is also forbidden from purporting to transfer or assign a right or interest in the vehicle. An individual who disobeys this rule and who transfers or purports to transfer rights or interests could face charges for engaging in the transfer for compensation or any items of value. The statute also prohibits anyone from helping, causing, or arranging for another person to violate the rules found within N.R.S. 205.2747.

If a defendant violates this rule and attempts to transfer or assign a right or interest in a motor vehicle, the defendant can be charged with a gross misdemeanor offense for the violation.
