Best Answer

When two people sign a note as co-borrowers they are each responsible for payment of the outstanding debt. If one doesn't pay then the other will be responsible for the entire balance.

Can a person's name be removed from a loan as coborrower if he wins a civil lawsuit?

It depends on the circumstances. That depends on whether the bank was a party to the lawsuit. If the court ruled the loan document was a forgery it may be binding on the bank. If you co-signed a loan and sued the other borrower regarding the payments, the bank isn't obligated to take your name off as co-signer. You would need to negotiate with the bank.


How do you be on deed without being coborrower?

To be on a deed without being a co-borrower, you can become a co-owner through other means, such as gifting or inheritance. However, being on the deed does not necessarily give you rights and obligations related to the mortgage or loan on the property. Being a co-borrower involves being held responsible for repayment of the loan, while being on the deed simply indicates your legal ownership of the property.
