Question: 

I have a car that was given to me as a gift by my Ex partner. He NEVER asked for money he has paid for it and I have had it with me in my possession the entire time. We do not nor did we ever live together during our 10 year relationship. Even after our split in April I asked him over and over to discuss how to get the car into my name he ignored me for 4 months. Now he has sent a demand email to give him $6,000 or he is coming to get the car. There is NO contract nothing in writing he has paid for it and never was payment, money or anything discussed. Do I have any legal rights to this car? I had a major heart attack and I am permanently disabled.I make no income and had no income at the time he bought it for me so I would have never gotten my self into something that I could not afford. Help

As a general rule if

As a general rule if something is a gift, then you can't take it back. Did you put it in your name? You'll want evidence of his intent to give it to you as a gift.
