Absolutely
In the state of California, Yes.
The co-signer will usually only have to sign if they are listed on the title as a co-owner.
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.
No the co-signer's name should not appear on the title.
That depends on the type of property covered by the loan. A co-signer cannot transfer the obligation to pay the loan to the primary borrower. The co-signer has a contract with the lender that they will pay off the loan if the primary borrower fails to pay.If the property is a car the co-owner can sign over the certificate of title and the grantee can request a new certificate of title in their sole name.
if you are on a car title and co signed for that vehicle, and it reads " you or them " can you register the vehicle
The co-signer would make the payments as usual and at the end of the financing, the owner would sign the title over to the co-signer. That is probably not good because the owner would still be financially responsible for the vehicle. The co-signer should refinance it in their name.
The automobile's title/registration determines the legal owner of the vehicle. Loan documents only concern the signer's legal responsibilities with the bank. If both names are on the title and you as primary are not paying on the loan then it is the responsibility of the co-signer to pay the loan. Since the the co-signer is still co-owner, and they are paying then the co-signer can take the car away. Remember this is affecting the co-signer's credit as well as your credit.
