    Chap 7 co-owner of car but not co-borrower on loan

    A while ago when I went to purchase my jeep I couldn't get a loan so my mom went to her bank and they gave her a loan for like 6k that is in her name only. But the car is in both of our names. I am primary owner. How do I explain this on my bankruptcy forms?

    Did your mom's lender place a lien on the title to the vehicle?

    Who has been paying your mom's loan?

    If both or your names are on title then, I would presume you have a 50% interest in the vehicle and would indicate that it is co-owned. However, if you and only you have been paying for the vehicle (please answer the above questions as this could get complicated) then you probably have a 50% "legal interest" but a 100% "equitable interest" in the vehicle.

        Good answer. You have a 1/2 interest in a co-owned vehicle.

        Please discuss this with a local attorney as he/she will know how to "list" this in your District.
