My in laws think that gap insurance will pay their car off?

Question:
since my father in-law died my in-laws think that the gap insurance will pay their car off in full and they still have more car payments to pay.

Answers:

Can a insurance company ask for an overpayment back if it was there mistake?

That makes no sense. Let me guess what you mean... If he died, fax a copy of the death certificate to the lender and they will take the car and released the lien. If your in-laws co-signed for him on the loan, they now own that car and are responsible for the payments. Co-signing should be called "co-owning" because you are just as much responsible for the car as the person you are signing for.

This is not normally what we call 'gap' insurance -- sounds like your father-inlaw may have had a life insurance policy built into the car loan to pay it off in the event of his death. Pull out the paperwork and read it---.
