For the length of the contract you sign. If you cosign on a 3 yr loan, you are responsible for the debt for 3 years.
The lender will evaluate the cosigner's ability to repay the loan. As long as the cosigner is mentally competent, his health is not normally an issue. If the family had gone to court to have a conservator or guardian appointed for the grandfather BEFORE the loan was signed, it would not be valid.
What would you do if a friend or relative asked you to cosign a loan? Before you answer, make sure you understand what cosigning involves. Under federal law, creditors are required to give you a notice that explains your obligations. The cosigner
I cosigned for my daughter five years ago on and apartment. Mu daughter is self employed. Her boyfriend has now moved in and wants to take responsibility for the rent. Land lord will not take me off the lease. What can I do?
Yes, as long as the cosigner is a legal gardian or a parent.
yes, as long as your credit is good enough for the respective loans.
if you have a good cosigner then all that matters is their credit and work history... if you renage on the deal they go after the cosigner
If you signed someone else's name on a legal document then the crime is forgery. If it is your first offence you may not go to prison if you are lucky.
A cosigner is obligated as long as the loan exisists. The loan must be paid off or refinanced into the primary borrower's name only to release the cosigner.

untill its paid off * The other option is for the primary borrower to have the loan refinanced without the participation of the original cosigner.
That depends on the lending institution, but most lenders will accept an out of state cosigner as long as the person qualifies.
My belief is that as long as the mortgage is paid on time by the borrower, there would be no reason to go after the cosigner estate.
