Yes. * No. Unless a cosigner is also named on the title to a vehicle or the deed to real property they have no legal rights or claim to said property.
A cosigner or coowner cannot repossess a vehicle. That is something the leinholder does.
No. The car is not your property, nor do you have legal authority to sieze property. It would be considered grand theft. As a co-signer, you agreed to be just as legally liable for the debt as the borrower. That's why it's a good idea to NEVER co-sign ANYTHING.
The loan must be paid off or refinanced and the co-owner must transfer their interest in the property to the person who will be keeping the property.
Yes it does, Only after you refinance the property may you take the cosigners name of the mortgage loan.
Investopedia Says:A co-borrower is different that a cosigner in that a cosigner takes responsibility for the debt should the borrower default, but does not have ownership in the property

The cosigner of the loan owns 1/2 of the property if they are on the title.
Property does not have an income tax return.
Fairly simply, a co-owner owns the car, and possibly the way your phrasing it, the primary responsibility for the loan. Hence, the (co)owner will own the car when the loan is paid off. A cosigner is essentially only a guarantor of the loan receivor. He is also responsible for the payment of the loan to the bank. He has no responsibility, and possibly no rights, in the property it is attached to. I would note that it is possible (and more correct but in a sophesticated lender type of way) that the term coowner would mean that the loan is "cowned" by two (or more)lenders. As in Bank 1 and Bank 2 both own 1 loan on a property, having each given funds and each receiving the benefits (payments from the one receiving the loan) of the loan. This rarely occurs on simple finance transactions so I supect this is not what you mean.
The primary and cosigner on a car note are equal owners. Neither has the "right of ownership" over the other. This is a common misconception. Both may not benefit from the transaction, but both will be negatively affected if the note is not paid.
That is an issue between the mortgage company, the buyer and the cosigner. The seller's only worry is selling the property and getting paid.
Many people cosign a loan for property they don't own. Many are uninformed of the consequences of cosigning. They don't realize they are agreeing to be completely responsible for a loan for property that belongs to someone else. If the primary borrower defaults on the loan and the cosigner must make the payments, the cosigner has no automatic right to the property.

Yes
The bank has a lien on a mortgaged property that is not affected by a transfer of the property. The bank will go after the decedent's estate and the cosigner for payment of the mortgage. If the mortgage isn't paid the bank will take possession of the property by a foreclosure.The bank has a lien on a mortgaged property that is not affected by a transfer of the property.

None. A cosigner is entering into a legally binding contract to repay the debt if the primary borrower defaults on the lending agreement. The cosigner does not have any other obligation nor ownership rights to the property.
