The bank needs to know the borrower is deceased. I do not know if they would transfer the loan to you. Make sure your car insurance is also paid up.
The only way to distance you from your co-borrower is to make all the payments on time or pay off the loan.
He has the right to make the payments or have his credit ruined. DON'T cosign a loan unless you are willing to make the payments if (when) the primary borrower defaults.
Prolly is BUT it depends on the lenders attitude as to what will happen. Best thing to do is contact the lender about getting the loan in your name. lot of variables here.
No, but if the borrower misses enough payments, the cosigner will start getting collection calls as well.
The bank can go after the granddaughter for repayment. * Monies belonging to any persons other than the primary borrower would not be subject to creditor attachment. If the primary borrower received monies from the estate, that would be viewed as an asset if the creditor decided to file suit to recover the debt owed.
It wouldn't be a repossession, but if he has had to make the payments, he could sue the primary borrower and might get possession from the court.
Yes, if those who control the dead borrower's estate do not continue to make the payments. The lender has a lien on the car, no matter who owns it.
Not as long as you continue to make payments on it.
You should be a non-occupying co-borrower on the note, which means that you will not be living at the residence but you are vouching for the primary borrower in case he/she cant make payments. So basically, your credit is on the line. If you didnt handle the situation in that manner there are numerous other possibilities.
No. If you are not on the deed, you can't sell the property. The only "right" you have as a cosigner is the obligation to make the payments.
NO!
Money owing on a car loan is still due, and payable by the estate of the deceased borrower. It's conceivable that certain loans may accelerate payments in the event the borrower dies. In any case, the executor of the estate should make payments as they become due, as with other obligations of the deceased. If a conflict develops between the executor and the bank concerning the loan, an attorney should be consulted.
