i believe you are correct.& at least from the modicum of research i've done.


the MSO is the true "title" to the "place travel device."& it is surrendered to the state in exchange for registration & certificate of title.& the dealerships do this automatically (pavlov).


however, i think you have to go through some hoops to assert the MSO over the certificate of title & get the latter cancelled/voided/whathaveyou.
