If the lender doesn't want the car how would the co-signer take over payments?

The co-signer would make the payments as usual and at the end of the financing, the owner would sign the title over to the co-signer. That is probably not good because the owner would still be financially responsible for the vehicle. The co-signer should refinance it in their name.

Should a co signer be told if something they signed for is getting repoed?
No. The cosigner should make certain the loan payments are being made since they guaranteed the loan would be paid back. If the primary borrower isn't paying then the cosigner must pay or their own credit record will be ruined and the lender can go after them for payment.No. The cosigner should make certain the loan payments are being made since they guaranteed the loan would be paid back.

If you are a cosigner on an auto loan for a family member who has not made payments is there any way to remove your name from the loan?
You need to talk to the lender to see if you can get taken off the loan. The reason they required her to have a consigner was exactly for this possibility. Sometimes, a lender may allow a cosigner to be removed, but it's reasonable to say that would only be if the primary has made timely payments as agreed for a reasonable period of time and improved their credit worthiness to where the lender could feel the cosigner is no longer providing any actual needed protection. That would not seem to be the case at all here.
Will having a cosigner lower your APR or enable you to borrow more?
The lender should be looking only at your ability to repay the loan when they determine the amount they will lend, since they assume you will be making the payments. They also want to be sure the cosigner can make the payments if you don't, but they would not combine the two financial statements to determine the amount that the two of you together could afford. They may offer a slightly better interest rate, but if the lender wants you to get a cosigner, it usually means you will not get a loan without one.
Must the lender notify the cosigner of intent to collect on a default?
The cosigner was probably "notified" that any funds held by the lender would be attached at the time the loan was signed. In order to garnish wages or place a lien on other property, the lender would have to go to court and obtain a judgment, in which case the cosigner would have received a summons from the court.
Can the primary borrower be sued by the cosigner if a loan is in default and the lender sues the cosigner?
Yes. But for now the lender has you and will get their money from you as they would the primary borrower. Cosigning is a really, really bad idea. At least for the cosigner. Everyone else seems to benefit.
Can a lender on an auto loan require a co-borrower or guarantor to go on the title?
The lender can require just about anything, but it is more likely that they will want every name on the title to be on the loan, not the other way around. If anyone should insist the cosigner's name be on the title, it would be the cosigner himself. That will give him a right to take possession of the vehicle if he is stuck with the payments.
Who is consigner?
If a lender does not feel comfortable with what they perceive as your ability to repay a loan they may ask that you get a cosigner. The cosigner is a person who would be guaranteeing the loan repayment if you were to default.

Is a lender required to evaluate whether a cosigner should be allowed to cosign?
The lender will evaluate the cosigner's ability to repay the loan. As long as the cosigner is mentally competent, his health is not normally an issue. If the family had gone to court to have a conservator or guardian appointed for the grandfather BEFORE the loan was signed, it would not be valid.
When a cosigner on a vehicle loan dies does the vehicle become a part of the deceased's estate or can it be repossessed by the lender if all the payments are current.?
Get a death certificate and get him off of the loan. He is the secondary on the loan, not the primary so you are o.k. if you keep the payments current. Y-THINK-Y * The vehicle would not be subject to probate procedure. However, it would be the lender's decision as to what should be done concerning the loan. The lender could repossess the vehicle if another cosigner is needed and there is no one willing to take the responsibility. The other option for the lender would be to require the primary borrower to refinance the car in their name only. Many lending contracts will include clauses that relate to such situations, (death, divorce, etc.) that allow the lender to take almost any type of action to insure the security of the property.
Can a cosigner repossess a car if the primary borrower stops making payments?
No. Only the lender can "repossess" a vehicle. You need to keep making the payments to protect your own credit. It is likely you would need to bring a court action, prove you are making the payments and petition the court to order a transfer of title.
Does a cosigner need to have the same address for an auto loan?
Usually not. The decision is up to the lender, but it would be a very odd requirement.
