V5 sale of vehicle

[rootie]

I recently purchased a vehicle for my son. It was a second hand car and was a gift. my son was not with me at the time and my husband had I had travelled a long way out of our local area to purchase the car. the sellers wanted us to fill in all the relevant paperwork there and then as they said they were legally bound to send of the V5 and were not willing to give us the whole log book in order for my son to sign. therefore I signed my signature at the bottom even though I filled in my sons details as he was going to be the registered keeper. Unfortunately we need to sell the car on what should I do? should my son sign the declaration of sale/transfer or should I ?

It's in you sons name so he should.

Signatures would never be compared unless there was some sort of investigation being carried out. No point in putting the incorrect signature a second time.

As you paid the money and got a receipt you are the owner of the car.

Do whatever you want to do with your car.

The registered keeper is not necessarily the owner.
