Contact a local attorney. Cosigning does not give him any rights to the title, but if he is listed on the title as a CO-OWNER, then who made the payments has no bearing on his right of possession. He has no legal obligation to give up his share in the vehicle unless you have some other document in which he has agreed to relinquish ownership in exchange for something of value.

Can the cosigner take possession of the car?

Not unless their name is also on the title. If you're not on the title then you only agreed to pay the loan if the person buying it doesn't. This doesn't give you any right to the car. However, you can sue the primary borrower in civil court if they defaulted on the loan and you made the payments. The judge may order the primary to sign the title over to you.


If the cosigner can prove they made all the payments and paid off the loan can they take the car?

No. The co-signer would need to take all that evidence and sue in court to get title to the car transferred unless the owner is willing to sing over the title.
