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.

Many people cosign a loan for property they don't own. Many are uninformed of the consequences of cosigning.

If the primary borrower defaults on the loan and the cosigner must make the payments, the cosigner has no automatic right to the property.
