In this brief advisory video, Jerry Taylor tells parents that once their child turns 18 they should remove their own name from the vehicle title and transfer it to the child. He acknowledges that doing so may raise the child’s insurance premiums, but argues that the potential personal liability—being named a defendant in a lawsuit if the child is sued after an accident—far outweighs the added cost. He concludes by inviting viewers to join his educational community via the link in his bio for more guidance.

Get your name off the title of your children's vehicles. In most states, if your child is over the age of 18, you need to take your name off the title and put theirs on it. Yes, the insurance may be more expensive doing it that way, but if your child has an accident and they get sued, I guarantee you will be named a defendant in that lawsuit if your name is on the title, and you will wish you had listened to this advice. The possibility of having a large judgment entered against you personally outweighs the additional cost of insurance.
