Federal student loans do not currently have cosigners. Parents who take out federal PLUS loans for their kids often think they are a cosigner, when they are actually the sole borrower. All federal student loans are discharged if the student dies.
Yes.
I'm pretty sure the cosigner doesn't have to pay it. If the tenant dies suddenly, I wouldn't think his/her family would be obligated to pay the rent, because I'm sure they would move everything out when the tenant dies.
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.
Yes, unless the loan is settled by the estate.
If the student dies, the loan dies with him/her. It's all in the fine print of the Master Promissory Note.
In general, federal student loans are not passed on to spouses after death. If the borrower dies, federal student loans are typically discharged, meaning the debt is forgiven and does not need to be repaid by the spouse. However, this can depend on the type of loan and the specifics of the situation, so it's advisable to check with the loan servicer for detailed information. Additionally, private loans may have different terms and conditions regarding death and responsibility for repayment.
No you are not responsible but if your step daughter does not pay the loan they can still repossess the vehicle.
I'm not sure if I get the question. Are you talking about having a cosigner orlike in a PLUS loan? If a borrower dies, the loan can be discharged.
The spouse is not responsible and should not have this on her credit. But the estate of the deceased will still be responsible for the debt.
Actually, that's not true - student loans are forgiven when the student dies.
If your cosigner dies during the loan repayment period, the responsibility for repaying the loan typically falls solely on the primary borrower. The terms of the loan agreement will dictate how the situation is handled, but the primary borrower may need to continue making payments on their own or seek alternative arrangements with the lender.
Not as long as you make your payments on time. A co-signer guarantees that you will pay your loan off. If your co-signer dies and you don't make your payments the lender will repossess the car and go after you for any deficiencies.
