Can a cosigner be removed from a vehicle title before the signer declares bankruptcy?
Yes, they can be removed from the title although there isn't much point to the action if the vehicle is subject to BK seizure. However it is not possible to be removed from the loan agreement. The cosigner will likely be obligated to pay the outstanding debt.

I think you could only do something like that as a cosigner, because the loan originator will put a lien on the title that will have to be settled before the car can be sold or transferred.

A cosigner signs the debt agreement and the lender can demand payment from both the debtor and the cosigner. A guarantor does not sign and the lender needs to go through the debtor before demanding payment from a guarantor.
How and where do you add a cosigner on a loan?
The cosigner must be present at the time the contract is signed. Before a cosigner is accepted by the lender him or her must meet the lender's requirements which will include a check of their complete credit history, employment status, etc.
What are the rights or obligations of a co-signer for a loan that has been included in a bankruptcy and who does not have the money to pay the large debt himself?
The obligation is that the loan is now the liability of the co-signer who did NOT file bankruptcy. Your rights are the same as any debtor. You can pay the loan, or default. Declaring bankruptcy yourself is an option also. For those reading along...this is why lenders want a co signer before lending to people they don't think can/will pay off their promises. They've seen it before. So when/if the primary can't/doesn't pay, someone else will. This lender, unlike others who will get nothing by the primary declaring bankruptcy, will more than likely get his debt paid by - or the assets of the cosigner to do so. Funny, the deadbeat will now get away without paying the promises to this lender, other lenders and wanna bet, never repay the cosigner, ever, too!
