Best Answer

In some cases yes. If the vehicle was purchased using the same lender against whom you have defaulted with a different loan, and there is a remaining balance after the repossession of that property, then the court can order a Conversion of Collateral, and the paid off vehicle can be repossessed by that lender.

Additionally, if the court chooses, real property can be ordered liquidated to pay a bad debt.

Can a parents personal items and car be auctioned off to pay debt after death?

Yes and no. Items that are in the deceased persons name can be held in probate. If the car has an outstanding lien, it will just be repossessed if it is not paid off, but if there is a will and the car is left to a person, that person will be responsible for the balance of the loan. If the car is paid off, it can and will be held in probate until the deceased persons estate is cleared of debt. If the person is renting a property and not the owner of the property and has outstanding debt, the items of value can be held in probate and auctioned off. If the will leaves the items to others, it will go to them, but if there is no will, everything listed in the dead persons name will become property of the state until probate is lifted and debt is paid off.

Your lender has to approve any changes in insurance on your car until it is paid off. You may also opt to have them cover the remaining amount owed so that if the car is totalled, your debt is cleared.


What happens when your son dies leaving an outstanding car loan?

My sympathies to you and your family. If you, your husband or anyone else in the family didn't cosign for a loan for the car then the debt ends. If there was a cosigner then the cosigner is responsible for the debt. If your son was not a minor and took the loan out himself and he has left a Will or has anything of value this debt will be paid off or written off.


If you have bad credit but the debt is paid off can you get a loan?
