In most cases, when a person has a loan on a car and the person dies, the note is "accelerated", meaning that it automatically becomes payable in full immediately even if there are months and even years remaining before it has to be paid. The promissory note will state this in its terms. The note will have to be paid by whichever beneficiary or beneficiaries receive the car by will or by intestate succession, or, if they do not want the car, it can be sold to someone else to pay off the loan.
