If a vehicle is in your name and the cosigner has possession can he get his own insurance?

Only if represented on the registration.


Does a cosigner have the right to take possession of the car when the primary borrower has made all the payments and has not defaulted on the loan?

No, a cosigner has no legal rights to a vehicle unless his or her name appears on the vehicle title.


What rights does a cosigner have to gain possession of the vehicle if his name is on the title in Pennsylvania?

It depends on what the title says. The title can say "The owner of the vehicle is Name 1 or Name 2." If the title says this then the cosigner has limited rights to get the car. Whoever has the vehicle can sell the car without the cosigners signature. Now if the cosigner has the car, the cosigner can sell the car without the main owners signature. If the title states Name 1 and Name 2, then you have same rights as the main owner of the car. This means if Name 1 trys to sell it, they can't sell it without your signature.


Can a co-owner take a car from the co-signer?

A cosigner has no legal rights to a vehicle unless his or her name is on the title. If the cosigner's name appears on the vehicle title then he or she is also a co-owner of said vehicle and any dispute in possession and ownership may need to be decided through legal procedures.


Can a cosigner take possession of a car if the primary signer is not paying the payments?

Yes. I believe the loaner will contact you with a past due amount, or send you a bill. If this hasn't happened yet, contact the loaner and tell them you want possesion if the car is not being paid for by the buyer. * No. A cosigner has no legal right to a vehicle unless his or her name appears on the title. The cosigner will have to make the payments to keep the vehicle from being reposssesed or have the vehicle refinanced in his or her name with the primary borrower being released from the current agreement, this can only be done if the lender agrees.


What rights does a cosigner have to gain possession of the vehicle if he paid off the loan without your knowledge and the title is in your name only?

If a cosigner's name is not on the title they have no legal claim to the vehicle. They can file a lawsuit against the primary borrower to recover money that they contributed towards the paying of the loan.


If the cosigner is refusing to refinance or pay the auto loan off how could the primary person on the auto loan remove his or her name?

They would need to have the vehicle refinanced in their name only or obtain another cosigner for the refinancing.


What rights does a cosigner have to gain possession of the vehicle if his name is on the title?

It depends on the laws of the state where the vehicle is titled and the wording of the title itself.


Does a cosigner have legal rights to a vehicle if his name is not on the title?

It depends on local/state laws and what the original contract stated.


Is there any way a cosigner can get his or her name off of a car loan?

The only way to be relieved of the obligation is for the primary borrower to refinance the vehicle.


Does a cosigner have any rights to the vehicle if the payments are current and the title does not list the cosigner's name?

NO, the ONLY rights a co-signor has is to pay off the loan if the debtor defaults. Unless, they are listed on the title. Two different ballgames.
