In New York, a surviving spouse is generally not personally responsible for the deceased spouse's outstanding car loan unless they co-signed the loan. The responsibility for paying the loan typically falls to the deceased's estate. If the estate does not have sufficient assets to cover the loan, the lender may repossess the vehicle, but the surviving spouse would not be liable for the remaining debt. It's advisable for the surviving spouse to consult with a probate attorney for personalized guidance.

I'm not quite sure EXACTLY what you are asking, but I'll give it a shot. If BOTH names are on the loan and you want to get one off, the other person has to re-finance the car in just their name. If it's in just your name, then you have to get the other person to assume the loan by applying for a loan in their own name. Basically, you can't just remove a name for any loan you've signed for. Someone else has to refinance in their name, on their credit.
