More details to this question:
I traded in my vehicle and bought a brand new one. The title clerk had me sign over my title and they are now calling me telling me my husband didn't sign and it says AND not OR on the title and he needs to come and sign. they have already paid off my trade in in full, and I have had the new vehicle for two months. Isnt the trade in still mine due to the title not being signed over? Would I be able to go get it and own it free and clear?

If you mean, can you be a dishonest person and cheat the dealership out of the car? Not likely, most dealerships plan for such dealings and typically make the trade in and giving good title, a condition of the sale. If the trade in gets botched, there is a likelihood the deal is undone and you get sued by dealership.
