Yes, it is sad. I think they're still in shock.

They aren't off the hook for the debt, though. Maybe some sharp attorney will advise them to do something clever. I hope so.

As I recall, student loans cannot be cleared by bankruptcy, for the student borrower, but I don't know if the same holds true for a co-signer of the loan. They might look into this angle........................

Well, if they're federally backed, I doubt there's anything they can do. IIRC, federally backed student loans cannot be discharged in bankruptcy, even in the case of death of the primary borrower if you are a co-signer.

Why? So the debt is spread out to everyone else? Maybe you enjoy paying for everyone else but I'm sick and tired of it. They co-signed so it's their debt. It's not my debt.
