Maybe. It depends on the loaner. The car probably won't be repossessed strictly due to the fact the person who signed for the car passed away. If the payments are still being made, regardless of who is paying them, they aren't going to take the car. But, if you're paying for it, and the car becomes paid off, it will be in the deceased persons name, not yours. So the car won't belong to you, unless your name is on the title, or if you inherit it, either through default, or through the persons will.

In this case you would have to contact the lien holder of the car and explain the situation (The lien holder is the true owner of the car). After that it's really up to them whether they want to negotiate a contract with the person paying for the vehicle, and that would depend on one or more things. Like your connection to the person, your credit, what it says on the actual signed document when the car was purchased, etc...

You might want to check the persons will also, if they have one. If the deceased person intended to pay the car off before their unexpected death, and they want to give the car to someone else after the car is legally theirs, it won't matter if you have been making the payments, the car will go to whoever the person entrusted the car too. So you could be out of a lot of money if you're the one making payments on the car. Also, if the lien holder does decide to take the car, the odds of you getting the money you paid back are slim to none.

How does a lease swap for automobiles work?

A lease swap transfers a lease (and vehicle ownership) from one individual to another. The new owner is now responsible for making payments and the original owner relinquishes responsibility. This is essentially a way for an individual to get rid of a car if they can no longer afford payments. However, some companies may charge a fee or penalty for such a swap.

Can you take over a excisting car payment?

You can take over the payments on a loan because the lending institution doesn't care who they get their money from BUT, until the car is paid in full, you have no rights to it and the responsibility for the car still is on the original purchasers credit. If you miss payments, the bank goes after him. They will not accept,,"someone else is supposed to be making the payments". You will own nothing and the original owner can simply drive the car away when it's paid for.

Can a cosigner repossess a car if the primary borrower stops making payments?

No. Only the lender can "repossess" a vehicle. You need to keep making the payments to protect your own credit. It is likely you would need to bring a court action, prove you are making the payments and petition the court to order a transfer of title.

Is it legal to sell a car to someone making payments to me?

Yes you can sell it and even have it registered to the new owner, but the lien will remain on the vehicle until its paid. The new owner can make payments to you but if they fall behind it will land on your shoulders. The best bet is to have the new owner pay you the amount of the loan upfront as payment for the car, therefore you pay your loan and they buy their car.
