Is a cosigner still responsible for the car loan if they are declared incompetent?

The laws which define incompetency vary greatly from state-to-state. However, the competency issue would only be applicable if the person was proved to have been incapable of understanding the agreement when it was initially made. If the person was judged incompetent after the agreement, the contract in most cases will be deemed legally binding.
