UAE: Man loses Dh27,000 after WhatsApp screenshots fail to prove car purchase
A man who filed a lawsuit to recover Dh27,000 he paid for a car has had his case dismissed by the Abu Dhabi Family, Civil, and Administrative Claims Court. The court found he failed to provide clear evidence of a legal sale, especially since the vehicle was mortgaged to a bank and later taken back by the seller while the man was outside the UAE. According to the court documents reported by Emarat Al Youm, the buyer claimed to have paid Dh16,265 via bank transfer and Dh10,735 in cash after agreeing on a price with the seller. He said the seller promised to transfer ownership, but later discovered the car was under a bank loan. When he returned from travel, he found the car had been taken back. The court found that the man's WhatsApp screenshots, an unclear copy of the vehicle registration, and six untranslated bank transfers were not sufficient to prove a formal agreement. It stated that the bank transfers did not by themselves prove a sale and described the plaintiff's claims as "unsupported and unsubstantiated." The court also rejected his demand for Dh5,000 in compensation for damages and loss of income, saying there was no evidence of a mistake or wrongdoing by the seller. Since there was no confirmed sale and no legal responsibility proven, the court dismissed the case and ordered the plaintiff to pay all legal costs.

Is there any chance you still have my title certificate from 2011?
If I can apply for a Rhode Island title certificate, should my TR-2/TR-9 indicate a duplicate title/affidavit of loss or Add Title? There is no way I can get my seller from April 15, 2011, to co-sign the TR-2/TR-9 form. I don't even know if he's alive. Suppose I simply can't find him? − Tedford R. A: Effective Jan. 1, 2024, Rhode Island's title law changed, and below are important points for you and others. This information can be found on our website ( ALL used vehicles, regardless of model year, will now be issued a Rhode Island Certificate of Title upon payment of Sales Tax and/or Registration. ALL used vehicles coming into Rhode Island from out of state, regardless of model year, require a VIN inspection from a municipal police department. If an out-of-state used vehicle is being registered in Rhode Island, and the state from which the vehicle is coming is a state that required a title for that vehicle, that title MUST be in the name of the seller, properly assigned to the buyer, and be presented, along with VIN inspection at the time of sales tax payment or registration at the Rhode Island DMV. If an out-of-state used vehicle is being registered in Rhode Island, and the state from which the vehicle is coming is a state that did not require a title for that vehicle, a valid proof of ownership (e.g. old registration, or paid sales tax form) in the name of the seller must be presented, along with a VIN inspection, at the time of sales tax payment or registration at the RI DMV. Here is the information about Previously Non-Titled Vehicles: Prior to Jan. 1, 2024. Rhode Island did not title vehicles model year 2000 and older. Effective Jan. 1, 2024. ALL vehicles are now eligible for a title, including model years 2000 and older previously registered under the old law. To obtain a title for a previously untitled vehicle registered in your name, present a valid registration, expired registration, or stamped paid sales tax form and a completed TR2/TR9 and a payment of $52.50 to the Research Office at the Cranston DMV. Now to the answers to your questions: We will request the file/title from our offsite records storage. If we can obtain it, we will get it back to you. Technically, you do not need a title. However, if you sell it out of state, that state may require a title. Each state has their own registration and title laws. Yes, you can get a Rhode Island title certificate with those documents, but you just need your valid or expired registration, payment and a completed TR2/TR9 application. (This form can be printed from our website in the 'Forms' tab and 'Title Forms' tab.) On the TR2/TR9 application, this transaction is called 'Add New Title.' The seller's signature is not required for you, as the current owner, to get a title for this vehicle. You can make a reservation for our Research/Title Office to do this transaction in person; you can drop off your paperwork and payment at any DMV Branch's Drop Box (hours are the same as the branch hours); or you can mail in all these documents to the Cranston DMV. Chuck Hollis is assistant administrator of the Rhode Island Division of Motor Vehicles. Please email your questions to cars@ with 'Ask the DMV' in the subject field.

Offerpad Enhances Cash Offer Model With HomePro to Drive In-Home Seller Engagement
Company to scale program through brokerage partnership(s) beginning in Q2 TEMPE, Ariz., May 06, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Offerpad (NYSE: OPAD), a leading real estate solutions platform, today announced the launch of HomePro, a product enhancement designed to increase in-home seller engagement and further the company's mission to deliver flexible, customer-first solutions. HomePro strengthens Offerpad's ability to meet sellers earlier in their journey by deploying HomePro Representatives to guide them through their options in the living room. Offerpad's ability to provide a cash offer remains the core of the company's value proposition and the primary reason consumers turn to Offerpad. Through technology like Citrus Value, sellers receive an offer range within minutes. They also have the ability to schedule inspections on their timeline, giving them more control from the beginning of the process. HomePro Representatives meet with sellers in the home to present available solutions and help determine the best fit. In-person engagement is already a proven part of Offerpad's model. Sellers are more likely to move forward when they clearly understand their options, whether that means accepting a cash offer or exploring a listing strategy that allows them to test the open market. HomePro gives Offerpad more opportunities to meet sellers where they are and provide tailored support based on their goals. "As I shared on our earnings call yesterday, we're creating more opportunities for our agent partners to thrive alongside us," said Brian Bair, Chairman and CEO of Offerpad. "From the beginning, we've been committed to working alongside the agent community. As a former top-producing agent, I built Offerpad with that perspective in mind. HomePro expands on that commitment, giving agents more ways to collaborate with us and drive results together." The company plans to expand the HomePro Representative model in Q2 by partnering with a select brokerage(s). These partners will be trained and certified by Offerpad to act as HomePro Representatives, enabling them to meet with sellers and present both cash and listing options. HomePro representatives help sellers not only with selling, but also with finding their next home, making the entire moving experience easier, more connected, and stress-free with Offerpad by their side. Offerpad will share additional updates in Q2, including the announcement of the brokerage partner(s) participating in the HomePro program.
