A cosigner signs the debt agreement and the lender can demand payment from both the debtor and the cosigner. A guarantor does not sign and the lender needs to go through the debtor before demanding payment from a guarantor.

What happens when the cosigner dies and the loan is in default?

If the account was secured by what ever was purchased, then it is likely to be repossessed, and regular collection procedures will begin to collect any remaining balance. If the account is unsecured, collections will begin against the guarantor or primary on the account. It is possible that the guarantor may be able to get all or part of the debt covered by any funds available from the cosigner's estate, but this would likely require the assistance of an estate attorney.


When a loan is in default does the lender have to notify the cosigner?

When a loan is in arrears (past due), the creditor has the legal right to contact the cosigner unless the loan is included in bankruptcy. The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act states this fact. The sole purpose of a cosigner/guarantor is to guarantee the loan, hence it is likely if no payment arrangements have been made by one, they will collect from the other.

Can a lender on an auto loan require a co-borrower or guarantor to go on the title?

The lender can require just about anything, but it is more likely that they will want every name on the title to be on the loan, not the other way around. If anyone should insist the cosigner's name be on the title, it would be the cosigner himself. That will give him a right to take possession of the vehicle if he is stuck with the payments.
