Best Answer

You may have vested interest in the home, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it is yours now. Get a real estate lawyer and see what you need to do. Gather the proof that you have been making the payments--cancelled checks to the mortgage company are best.

Another Perspective

No. You cannot take possession of the property. You would need to bring an action to a court of equity and obtain a court order that transfers all right, title and interest in the property to you. If you lived in the home the court is more likely to view your payments as a form of rent. Courts rarely transfer title when a volunteer pays the mortgage while they were living with the owner. The property will pass to the heirs at law or under the will of the decedent.

How do you get a co-buyer off of a car loan if they are in default?

You don't. If the cobuyer has possession of the vehicle and is no longer making payments, you as the buyer may take possession and either take up and make current the payments, or voluntarily surrender the vehicle.

Who holds the collateral in a loan with collateral?

Normally, unless it is a sort of pawnshop or personal type of loan, you the borrower hold the collateral. For example, if you get a loan on a vehicle, you have possession of the vehicle as long as you are making payments as agreed. If you stop making the payments, the one to whom you owe the money (the lien holder) can take possession of the vehicle, sell it, and you would be responsible to pay the difference between what it is sold for and the amount you still owe, if there is a difference.

How do I get possession of a car in Michigan that I cosigned for when the owner has stopped making payments and communicating with me?

Contact whomever holds the lien, they will allow you to make payments and take posession of said vehicle if signor has ceased to make payments. I have already contacted the lien holder and they advised me that they would not get involved with me taking possession of the vehicle. All they wanted from me were back payments. I brought the payments up to date. Now I want to get the vehicle in my possession. Unfortunately I have been unsuccessful at contacting the person I cosigned for. I've even heard that he may have moved out of Michigan. I have a copy of the Michigan registration showing myself as an owner. I am currently awaiting documentation from the state that I am on the title. What is my next step towards getting possession of the car?


The title holder has no job license or insurance as cosigner you are making payments what can you do to get possession of the car?

IF you are NOT on the TITLE, contact the lender, explain the deal and ask them to repo for you, take the buyer OFF the loan and let you take possession. That will NOT get the payments off you but will give you room to work. You are not the first person to have the problem and most lenders will ways to solve it.
