If they've cosigned for the mortgage, yes.

The only time a partner (husband/wife, usually) doesn't need to be there is if the mortgage and title papers are all in one person's name.

The only people who really need to be at a re-fi is the lender's attorney and your attorney-in-fact (somebody you trust to do your business and who has no apparent conflict of interest). All other parties can be represented on paper; each with a power of attorney that permits the attorney-in-fact to sign these particular papers in the absence of the named person.

Yes. If the co-signer is not on the title then they are volunteering to guarantee the repayment of the loan. The loan is the subject of the transaction. Therefore, the co-signer must sign the loan documents at the closing.

If you bought a house and had it financed with a cosigner are they on the deed and if you are able to refinance yourself can you do it without them?

Do you need your cosigner to sign when you refinance?

If you need a cosigner they must sign because a co-signer is a person who accepts responsibility for repayment of a loan, credit card or other debt along with the original borrower. However, if the institution giving you the new loan doesn't require a cosigner, you don't need to have the cosigner on your original loan sign anything.

Can you drop a spouse from a mortgage without their signature by refinancing?

You can refinance without the spouse but you will need their consent to do so. If the spouse is on the title of the home, the answer is "no". If the spouse is on the existing mortgage the answer is "no". If the spouse is not on title you need to indicate on the loan application that you are married, and if you don't is fraud. At the time of closing she/he would have to be present. Inform you spouse of your actions.

How can you transfer the title to the co-signer?

Thsi depends on who is actually listed on the title alone. If the cosigner appears second or not at all on the title, then the title transfer can be done at the DMV, showing the vehicle was "sold" to the co-signer. This will update the title and registration of the vehicle. Now, if the co-signer also wants to be the sole payee on the car loan, the co-sighner would need to refinance the auto-loan in their name alone and be approved.


Who has control of company vehicles with a cosigner?

Control in what sense? Sell them, transfer title? The cosigner guarantee's the loan on the vehicles and would need to agree to selling them and sign the title. You can use them for any purpose, do anything with them including burning them. You will still be responsible for the loan and if not you the cosigner will have to pay the loan off.
