Lost Titles

Question to those across our little nation. In Missouri we have a Lost Title recovery ability in our Department of Revenue but it is ponderous, has to be the registered owner to get one or have a sales receipt from a Registered Business and a valid reason(from them) the old title was lost or a death cert on the original owner. Just to sell a machine without a title is not valid enough to get a title replacement here. How hard or what steps are required where you all are at?

A work around here is a towing or mechanic company can claim it is an abandoned vehicle.
You send a registered letter to the address on the title record (often old and they've moved) stating intent. You also need to state towing and impound fees due. Then, if not claimed in 45 days you can apply for a title.
