The person who was "cosigned for" is still liable and the collateral is still collateral, it's just owned by the estate now. Same laws still apply

What happens if you default on IRS payment plan?

If you default on an IRS payment plan, you will be subject to liens (the selling of your mortgaged or collateral property, such as your house or car) or levys (seizure of your property or financial assets). For this reason, it is important to notify the IRS as soon as you find out you will not be able to make a payment, so that they can explain your options to you.


If the cosigner of a auto loan files bankruptcy and the borrower can't make payments what happens to the auto and the balance of the loan?

Really simple: The loan goes into default and the car gets reposessed. In many car loans, the language in the contract ensures that in the event of default, the lender doesn't need to provide any more consideration and can take the car without worrying about the money left when default occured.


What happens if my cosigner doesn't want to be my cosigner anymore?
