Chase holds a lien on the financed vehicle's title until the loan is paid. Once the balance is paid off, Chase sends the title and/or lien release in the customer's name to the address on file or as instructed by the estate representative. The family or appointed representative then works with the state motor vehicle agency to transfer ownership.
A qualified heir who wants to keep a financed vehicle can pay off the loan and retitle the vehicle through the estate, or ask Chase Auto about assuming or refinancing the balance in their own name. Payments must be kept current in the meantime, because the vehicle secures the loan and can be repossessed if the account falls behind. Chase evaluates any request under its credit and underwriting guidelines.
