Best Answer

Check the wording of the loan documents (you should have gotten a copy), and/or check with the lender, but probably not. You signed as being co-responsible for the loan - the lender accepted your assurance - now you are as responsible for the loan as the borrower. If fact, you are the co-borrower. If the original borrower defaults and you become responsble for the paymetns, your complaint is with the person you co-signed for.

From a commercial account, yes. From a loan, no. The loan must be re-financed in order to remove names from that type of account.

Depends on what type of an account it was set up as. If you were a signer on an account, then most certainly the owner of the account can remove you. Same as applies to accounts set up under a trust. if it was a joint with right of surviorship, most institutions prefer to just close the account and reopen the account under the requestor. even if there is a divorce decree. or "death certifacte" Either way, if you were removed from the account without your consent, you should call your financial institution right away.

If you have a joint checking account with your husband can he close it or remove your name without your signature?

He cannot remove your name from the account. However, he can close the account and then open a new account with the money. Just remember this can work both ways. With a joint account either person can go in and close the account out and then take the money and open themselves a new account. Most of the time it depends on who makes it to the bank first to close out the account.
