If it is a small personal loan then maybe but if it is for a house, not likely, especially these days.
A cosigner is only responsible for the items that he has cosigned for.
Yes.
No. If you are not on the deed, you can't sell the property. The only "right" you have as a cosigner is the obligation to make the payments.
No, a cosigner has no legal rights to the property unless their name is on the title or deed. A cosigner is accepting the responsibility of the debt if the primary borrower defaults; a co-buyer/borrower is a different matter entirely.
The foreclosure will affect your credit record. You are fully responsible for paying the loan.
Yes, but the cosigner will still be legally responsible for any outstanding fees, penalties, deficiencies and so forth that may occur due to the foreclosure. The cosigner's credit will also be significantly damaged by the foreclosure and any other action by the lender.
Not if the cosigner has been making the payments on time. But often the cosigner doesn't know the loan is in default until it is past due 30 days or more, so if you have received two or three (depends on state laws) Right To Cure Default letters, the bank can foreclose.
Only if that person is on the contract cosigner etc. and no they cant take your house.
Then the cosigner is responsible for paying. most plases uses caladeral like a car or house, if the bond is not paid the car or house is taken
If you want to deal drugs or grow pot - yes. If he says you can't paint the bedroom - no. You can do anything legal.
They can be sued for a breach of the agreement. Co-signers are equally responsible for any default regarding a lease.
