I am from state of IN. six months back I bought a car with my brother as a co-signer. The title and registartion has both of our names. He just co-signed for me as I am not eligible for a loan at that time. I am the active owner of the car. Now I want to refinance my car loan without the co-signer.

Is that possible to remove the co-signer name from the title and registartion.

Is there any special fees applicable for that ?

Do I need to pay the tax again ?

Please clarify.

Hello srik:

The two of you (who are partners in the car) need to sell the car to you, an individual. It's just like any ordinary car sale and you'll have to pay whatever tax would be due on any sale.

From a technical standpoint YOU aren't paying the tax again, because YOU didn't pay it the first time. Your partnership (your brother and you) paid it the first time.

Check with your local DMV. All that may be necessary is for him to sign over the Title and you request a new title from them.
