Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
co sign a loan
I co sign a loan for my niece so that she can go to college. The loan is $25,000 and I don't have any documents on the loan. I am now worried if she decides not to pay, the loan company would come after me. She applied in June 2007 and was approved. Now I need to know how I can make sure she will pay for it when the time comes. I live in Georgia and she goes to school in Washington DC. Is there anyway I can get the documents for the loan and if there is any legal action I could take if the above situation happens. Also if I get her to sign a promissory on the loan amount will it be acceptable legally.

Re: co sign a loan
When you cosign a loan, it means they can come after you if she does not pay. Nothing can change that.
