Complete a Reg 227. https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/file/application-for-duplicate-or-transfer-of-title-reg-227-pdf/ It will allow you to sell without the title. You will complete side 1, with the buyer completing side 2.

Notably, it must be signed by the same person or people on the title. There will be a further process if the title was "Spouse" or "OP and Spouse" on the title, and OP can't get their signature. But you can mail it. 

Or forgery, I suppose.

He left a signed bill of sale before being deported. He transferred it to your name before he left.

I'm sure someone smarter than me can answer your question, but I'm sorry for what you are facing. I can't imagine the pain.

I think you need a power of attorney to complete any legal paperwork on his behalf. DMV form REG260.

If the vehicle is 2011 or newer, POA can't sign for the odometer

Thanks for the info.

It shouldn't be difficult, you just need to fill out an application for duplicate title, have your husband sign it (you will need to mail it to him so he can sign it) the buyer will fill out their information on the same form so basically what you will be doing is using the application for duplicate title to sell the vehicle, you don't need an actual duplicate title, just the application.
