The loan applicant must be on the title. The co-signer can certainly insist on being on the title to the vehicle. That would make it easier to take possession of the car if the primary borrower defaults.
However, it also makes the co-signer vulnerable as a co-owner of a vehicle being owned and operated by a person with a poor credit history. There may be liability issues in case of an accident. There may be costs if the primary allows the insurance to lapse, or they accumulate unpaid traffic violations and the vehicle is impounded.
A co-signer must make certain they are fully informed before signing their name as the responsible party. The reasons for not co-signing are abundant.
Control in what sense? Sell them, transfer title? The cosigner guarantee's the loan on the vehicles and would need to agree to selling them and sign the title. You can use them for any purpose, do anything with them including burning them. You will still be responsible for the loan and if not you the cosigner will have to pay the loan off.
If you go to the registration office with the primary and have them give consent to the cosigner
The title has nothing to do with the loan. The loan will need to be refinanced using a different cosigner or only the primary borrowers.
yes.
Both parties must agree to the sale and sign the title if the title says "and". If it says "or" you can sell it with just one owner's signature on the title.
Cosigner just means someone who guaranteed the note. What's on the title? If the cosigner is on the title, he/she is entitled to half of the proceeds of a sale or insurance liquidation because it's the TITLE that determines the ownership, not who paid for it.
If the names are joined with "OR" or "AND/OR", either can go to the DMV and have the title changed. If there is just an "AND", they will both have to sign.
In most states, yes, the lender is actually the 'owner' until the loan is paid off and can require that the cosigner be on the title.
The cosigner of the loan owns 1/2 of the property if they are on the title.
No, a cosigner does not have any legal rights to the vehicle, but does have the legal obligation to repay the debt if the primary borrower defaults on the contract. An exception could be if the cosigner is also named on the title to the vehicle, and if so, how the title is worded.
Yes..... I did
What decides the ownership of real property such as a vehicle is the way the title is worded. If the names on the title of the vehicle are separated by the word "and" each party owns an equal share of the vehicle and both have to agree on any action taken. If the names are separated by the word "or" both parties have sole ownership rights and either one can take action without the permission of the other. Nevertheless, one party cannot have the use of the vehicle while the other one pays the financial obligation unless it pertains to a married couple or the involved parties have agreed on such an arrangement. Unfortunately situations such as cited quite often end up in litigation.
