More details to this question:
In November 2012, the county in my state (Michigan) had a bid for assets property sale. At the time, I was on vacation and unable to register to bid. I asked my son to register and bid on the properties for me. He won the two properties I wanted and the deeds were recorded in his name. The plan is to quit claim the properties over to me. Here's the situation. In June 2012, my son was in a car accident while driving a hertz rental vehicle. A summons came to my house for my son. The driver in the other car is suing my son for access over $25,000. He did not have insurance or a valid driver's license. His godfather rented the vehicle for him as a birthday gift. I don't want the properties I brought that are in his name to become part this suit. These properties were purchased with my money.

You both have big problems. Those properties are his and can be taken. Any attempt to get rid of them will be a fraudulent conveyance and be undone by the Court. He needs to hire a defense attorney to the suit and negotiate something that keeps things in perspective.

Hertz has to provide the minimum liability limits in MI which is $20,000. After that he is on the hook for any damages proven.He can go bankrupt and avoid any potential judgment. I think that without a valid driver's license, Hertz should not have rented the car to him and they may have additional liability. The properties are a non issue until the case is at an end.
