I have been making payments on an Credit Union auto loan for 3-1/2 years which required I have a co-signer. My co-signer died recently. Her daughter survives her. The daughter lives in Florida. Unsure if she is aware of this loan as I have not heard anything from her. I am still making payments but would like to trade in my vehicle to a lot that will not require a co-signer; or sell it outright. Can I do that without involving the surviving daughter? Credit Union is not aware of the death of the co-signer. Am I obligated to tell them? Thank you.
