Title/Registration Issue

[Crash4723]

So I bought a 250cc scoot from the family of a deceased man. The scoot had about 50 miles on it and the family provided a bill of sale, and a photo copy of the certificate of origin. The scoot has never been titled or registered as it was owned by an elderly man that lived in a gated community and he rode it from his place to the front gate and back.

I went to DMV and tried to title & register it and they were absolutely no help at all. After waiting for an hour I explained the situation to the cs agent and she simply said she could not help me.

What are my options for getting this thing road legal? The company the guy bought it from brand new is no longer in business, I think it is Sunny Motor Sports in LA California. I have the original receipt from Sunny Motor Sports, a copy of the Cert of Origin, and a bill of sale. I thought maybe I could get a non-transferable registration for now so that it is legal to ride, but I can't seem to get ANY ASSISTANCE AT ALL from DMV.

How do I get this thing legally titled and registered?

Thanks in advance guys!
