Yes, but they must be fully informed about their responsibilities under the loan. They will be fully responsible for paying the loan if the primary borrower defaults. That has resulted in many seniors losing their homes when they couldn't afford to pay. The creditor can sue them in court in the case of a default and if successful can obtain a judgment lien that can be recorded against any real estate they own.
