It will be up to the financial institution that is giving the loan as to whether the co signer can live in another state and still sign. Some lenders will not allow this as they need to be able to get in contact with the borrowers easily.
No, a cosigner does not have any legal rights to the vehicle, but does have the legal obligation to repay the debt if the primary borrower defaults on the contract. An exception could be if the cosigner is also named on the title to the vehicle, and if so, how the title is worded.
No, the cosigner will not have rights to the car after its paid off because the purpose of a cosigner is to pay off the notice if you fail to do so. Being a cosigner does not give them to any rights to the car.
U.S.Mail or Fax and a Notary Public is all you need.
It has the same effect on the credit.
If you are late on your loan payment and are a cosigner on your daughters car can they repposses the car?
Yes: Your spouse/children can be included on your insurance policy regardless of who was/if there was a cosigner on the car.
Possible fraud charges.
In the State of Texas, the answer would be "YES" as both parties signed for the car loan and both are responsible for the balance due. I was the primary signor but the cosigner had the car and was making the payments. Then she stopped making payments after owning the car for 3 years and the car was repossessed.
If you are up-to-date then no, if you are a cosigner there may be complications...
No, the cosigner signs on to the loan. Usually, the primary signer owns the car and drives it. The cosigner is there in case the loan goes into default and needs to be paid for. After they sign on the car does not belong to them, but the person who took out the loan.
I had this very same instance come up and the police were called. They told me that as long as the payments were being made and you have proof of you making the payments on time, the cosigner has to leg to stand on when trying to take the car. So NO your cosigner can not take the car.
That would depend on the repossession laws of your state of residency. Or if different, the state where the loan was procured for the vehicle.
