Generally, yes. That is generally the purpose of requiring a co-signer for any loan.
In the US, the answer may be no if the loans are federally guaranteed student loans. Once the borrower dies, the government will forgive the loans. Contact the Ombudsman's office with the Department of Education.
yes, hence why a CO-SIGNER.
Yes, unless the loan is settled by the estate.
When the primary borrower defaults the cosigner becomes legally responsible for the loan. If the cosigner is not able to pay the loan he or she can also be subject to legal action by the lender and the cosigner's credit score will be seriously affected.
If the co-signer dies the surviving borrower is responsible for paying the loan.

No you are not responsible but if your step daughter does not pay the loan they can still repossess the vehicle.
You have the right to pay the loan. When a cosigner enters into a loan agreement he is promising to assume responsibility for the debt should the borrower ever default on the loan. This means simply that if the borrower stops making payments the cosigner will have to take over the payments. You may even be responsible for the full payment of the loan in the event that the borrower dies or is disabled. The cosigner, or in many times, the co-borrower is equally responsible for the debt. The debt will be reflected on the co-signors credit report and may negatively impact the person's credit should the debt become delinquent. If the primary borrower cannot pay the debt, the lender will pursue the co-signor just as equally as the primary borrower. In some cases the lender may only go after the cosigner. If you cosign on a auto loan and the borrower does not make his payments, you will be responsible for making the payments even though you do not have posession of the vehicle. The borrower will be driving around in a vehicle that you are paying for, and it can be a nightmare to extract yourself from this situation. You will not only be responsible for any arrears of the loan; you will also be responsible for any late fees, additional interest, and collection fees.
I'm not sure if I get the question. Are you talking about having a cosigner orlike in a PLUS loan? If a borrower dies, the loan can be discharged.
No. The purpose of requiring a co-signer is that in the case of a default by the primary borrower, the cosigner has agreed to be fully responsible for the loan. Therefore, if the borrower defaults, that's what you're there for if you're the cosigner.
Yes, the cosigner/co-borrower has the same legal responsibility to repay the debt/loan as does the primary borrower. If the primary defaults the creditor can attempt to collect from the co-borrower before the primary borrower.
No. The cosigner will still be equally responsible for the debt
the borrower
A cosigner cannot be arrested solely for being a cosigner on a loan. However, if the primary borrower defaults on the loan, the cosigner may be held responsible for the debt and face legal action if they do not fulfill their obligations.
