Whenever the lending institution wants one. Basically, if the primary applicant has no credit history, or a poor credit history, lenders may require that someone with a longer/better credit history cosign.

No, you can only be liable for the loan. If the car was totaled and did not have insurance then you can be held responsible for the balance on the loan. Any accident or damages that occurred would be the responsibility of the driver/owner of the vehicle. All your signature did was say that you will pay the loan if the borrower fails to do so.


Can a co signer take over ownership of car loan and get insurance?

A co signer is for the loan, they do not have any ownership in the car unless they are on the front of the title. If they just co signed for the loan, that lmeans they will pay for it if the owner does not. Even if they paid the entire loan, they still would not own the car. To transfer the car, they would have to either pay the loan off or get a loan in their name and you sell the car to them.

Can a co-signer repossess a vehicle if a sibling is not making payments?

The co-signer is typically a person who signs for the car loan; the co-signer may or may not be listed as a co-owner on the title. If the co-signer is also a co-owner, the co-owner who is paying the loan can legally take the car. However, if the co-signer is not a co-owner, taking the car would be grand theft auto. Incidentally, if the co-signer is not also a co-owner and the loan falls into default, both the signer and the co-signer will be identified in credit reports as defaulting on a car loan, even though the co-signer did not have or use the car.
