Agreement between signer & co-signer of a loan
I will be co-signing a loan for someone and there will be an agreement as to what happens if he were to default on the payments. I would like some general form that I can use to process this as a legal document. For example, a boat will be the collateral for this loan, I want to have the boat registered to myself when it comes due to be renewed. I wouls also like some clause in case the boat is no longer of any value before the laon is paid off.

I received your post on 6-28-2001.
If your co-sign the loan and there is a default, YOU TOO ARE ON THE HOOK for the money. You sign, you pay.
If your think he can't pay, what makes you think that boat won't be repossessed for a lack of payment?
Any questions, please contact me directly at 845-878-2163.
