You need to have the title transferred to your own name and notify the loan company of the change in ownership. Then you will need to pay the balance of the loan or renegotiate the loan with the bank. If you don't pay the loan the car will be repossessed.
Even if your name is not on the loan you have to pay for it if: You are next of kin (which you are if you are married) or You are in the Will of the deceased.
The estate is responsible for the loan. If it is not paid the bank will take the property.
The deceased.
The estate of the deceased parent is responsible for the debt. The leinholder gets the car.
You can, but its fraud.
Depends on the state you live in. * If the married couple resided in a community property state the surviving spouse might be held accountable for the debt even though the loan was only in the name of the deceased spouse. In all other states the surviving spouse is not responsible for debt that is incurred solely by a living or deceased spouse.
I wouldn't see why they want the money not the car.AnswerProblem is, the loan is not in the survivng person's name. The lender would want to redo the loan in the new person's name before they held off the repo. If the new person can't get the loan, then the bank will have it repo'd.
Sell it? Keep it? It's in your name. Do whatever you want with it. If there's a loan on it, and the car's worth less than the loan, you'll have to eat the difference if you sell it. If the loan is in your name you have to make the payments. You could let it be reposessed, but the loan company will sell it and come after you for the difference in what they get and what you owe. Never buy a car for a friend.
subprime loan
You need to notify the lender of any changes in ownership. They will then call in the loan.
unless his will states otherwise you inherit all of his property and debt. that includes, loans.
Hopefully, You were not maried when the loan was given, You should see an attorney.
