Re: co signing loan
Being a co-signor on a loan is different than being a co-owner of property. the loan involves signing on a debt instrument. The ownership is a matter of title. In short, the answer to your question is that being a co-signor on a loan bestows you no ownership rights and you cannot sell a secured or unsecured asset purchased with the debt.
