A co signer is for the loan, they do not have any ownership in the car unless they are on the front of the title. If they just co signed for the loan, that lmeans they will pay for it if the owner does not. Even if they paid the entire loan, they still would not own the car. To transfer the car, they would have to either pay the loan off or get a loan in their name and you sell the car to them.
A co-signer of a car loan needs the permission of the lender to be taken off the loan. That is not likely to happen since the lender wants as many sources as possible for repayment of the loan. Each co-signer is responsible for 100% of the loan. If one doesn't pay the other will be held responsible.
No. A cosigner is basically a "lender of money." The cosigner is actually taking out the loan and is responsible for paying that debt off should the person the loan is for defaults. If you haven't missed any payments (more than two) and have paid the debt off then the car is yours to do as you want with it. Marcy
All a co-signer is someone who agrees to pay off the debt if the loan goes into default
Yes. The co-signer should negotiate a resolution as soon as possible. If the debt goes into default the co-signer's credit will be ruined. The co-signer should try to get the lender to take back the vehicle and negotiate the amount it will take to write off the debt. On the other hand, the co-signer could try to get title from the decedent's estate and then pay off the loan.
The car loan will have to be paid off in order to remove your name. The other signer will have to get a new loan in her/his name only.
If the brother was the signer or co-signer of the loan, he is on the hook for the full amount of the loan until the car is fully paid for. If you default on the loan it goes against his credit rating. If the brother did not sign the loan, but his name was used, that is identity theft and forgery and may seem petty ... but is a serious felony. If the brother wants his name off the loan, he could force you to sell the car. Or you could find the money to pay off the car in full. There is almost no way the finance company will ever let a co-signer off of a loan.
You can't get your name off a car loan. In fact, if the primary borrower isn't making the payments the lender will go after you for payment. That was the reason the lender required a co-signer.

You should be able to depending on your credit score.
It sounds entirely reasonable that you would pay them back for the remaining amount of the loan and for the needed repairs. I assume that the co-signer was trying to get the loan off of his credit and that perhaps you were not paying regularly or on time. There may be other circumstances that are not addressed here.
