You need to bring the title and your bill of sale to the DMV to see what their policy is in such a situation and whether or not you have any options. The DMV may be able to assist you in locating the owner of the vehicle so the owner can perfect the transfer if necessary.

A Notarized signature is not a necessary component of a vehicle transfer in the state of California

Can you register a car if you received the bill of sale but not the title?

Generally, you must have the title, signed by the seller/owner, and a bill of sale in order to register the vehicle in your name. The sale isn't valid unless the buyer receives both. If the seller does not turn over the title, the buyer cannot register the car and has no proof that the seller owned the vehicle. If you have questions contact the Department of Motor Vehicles in your jurisdiction.

In the state of California can you legally return a car and ask your money back from a private party if it was never smogged?

In California it is the responsibility of the seller to provide verification of a current smog inspection before conducting a sales transfer of a vehicle. Without a smog certification from the seller you don't have a right to return the vehicle, but the seller is still responsible to pay for certification and any necessary repairs to pass California emission requirements.

If the party you are buying the car from owes the bank more than what you agree to pay IF both send in a check s who gets the title the buyer or the seller and how is the buyer protected?

The seller will get the title. It may vary in different states, but I would suggest the buyer have a notarized document prepared which has a promise that the seller will turn the vehicle/title over. It a chance that buyer will take.
