my husband co-signed on a house for his brother when he was 18. the brother does not make the payments on time, and it is affecting my husbands credit. since his brother refuses to sell the house, and he won't be able to refinance to get my husbands name off the loan, what can we do?
kkeller, he is fully obligated as a cosigner to make payments on that loan, so that's certainly one thing that can be done. when he cosigned, that should have been made clear.
he could begin a legal action to force his brother to sell the home, also. and a question - can your husband refinance the property by himself and make payments easier, if that's a viable option?

is there any legal documents between your husband and his brother? That can protect your husband from paying the brothers loan. if anything legal documents otherwise as he s cosigner he has to pay loan if brother not paying.
sunil, no "legal document" can override the signature on the promissory note.
There weren't any legal documents, and we can't refinance the house into our names because the brother wants to keep the house. We want to sell the house, but again can't do it. If the brother were to refinance the house, wouldn't he have to give my husband a portion of the equity? I'm not sure how that whole process works
if he refinances, he would not necessarily be obligated to do anything for your husband. that's something the two of them would need to work out.
Alright! Thank you for your help!

Hi julieta!
