Section 32-20-32

(Effective January 1, 2010) Involuntary transfer of interest.

(a) If the interest of an owner in a manufactured home passes to another other than by voluntary transfer, the transferee, except as hereinafter provided in subsection (b), shall promptly mail or deliver to a designated agent the last certificate of title, if available, and proof of the transfer, together with his or her application for a new certificate in the form the department prescribes. If the interest of an owner in a manufactured home passes to another other than by voluntary transfer, and the manufactured home is permanently affixed to the real property and the owner of the manufactured home and the real property are the same then the transferee, except as hereinafter provided in subsection (b), shall promptly mail or deliver to a designated agent the last certificate of title, if available, and proof of the transfer, together with his or her application for a certificate of cancellation in the form the department prescribes.

(b) If the interest of the owner is terminated or the manufactured home is sold under a security agreement by a lienholder named in the certificate of title, the transferee shall promptly make application to a designated agent for a new certificate of title in the form the department prescribes. The application shall be accompanied by the last certificate of title and an affidavit made by or on behalf of the lienholder that the manufactured home was repossessed and that the interest of the owner was lawfully terminated or sold pursuant to the terms of the security agreement.

If the lienholder succeeds to the interest of the owner and holds the manufactured home for resale, he or she need not secure a new certificate of title but, upon transfer to another person, shall promptly mail or deliver to the transferee the certificate, affidavit, and other documents required by the department. The transferee shall promptly make application to a designated agent for a new certificate in the form prescribed by the department.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section, a person holding a certificate of title whose interest in the manufactured home has been extinguished or transferred other than by voluntary transfer shall forthwith mail or deliver the certificate to the department upon request of the department; and the delivery of the certificate pursuant to the request of the department does not affect the rights of the person surrendering the certificate; and the action of the department in issuing a new certificate of title as provided herein is not conclusive upon the rights of an owner or lienholder named in the old certificate.
