<prompt> Human: Hi all,My dad recently contacted me because he needs some money. I dont have a problem with lending my dad money, but it brought to my attention a mortgage loan that was put under my name a few years ago. Two years ago he convinced me to be a non-occupant co-borrower on a mortgage loan under the condition that I would not have to pay a penny. Forgive my ignorance, but to be honest Im not 100 sure why he needed my name on the papers, but Im guessing it was helpful in refinancing the loan because my salary is much higher than his. Its important to note that the money he recently asked for was not related to the mortgage.I provided the accountant my necessary information without too much consideration because I figured my dad was looking out for my best interest weve had a fine relationship hitherto so I didnt have a reason to doubt him. I havent thought about the mortgage until my dad contacted me the other day, which made me wonder how my father is paying for the mortgage and taxes if hes short on money. I dont feel comfortable asking my dad about the details. Should I be concerned that the mortgage or taxes arent being paid? I reached out to the accountant and asked him for information on the bank that provided the loan. He said the loan was sold to another financial institution by now and would need to pull my credit report to determine which one. Im not sure if my dad is putting me in jeopardy, but Id like to make sure. What steps should I take? Assistant: The only person who can answer this right now is your dad. You signed your name on the docs, so youre legally responsible for the debts. You need to have a talk with your dad yesterday.Human: Is there no way to assess the current standings without contacting my dad? As co-occupant am I entitled to request and receive all financial information statements, taxes, etc regarding the loans?  <response>: Sure, if your name is on the documents you have the right to know how much is owed, and if payments are being made on time. Id imagine they arent, since your dad is borrowing money now.
