Private College Student Loan

Private Student Loans - What Happens if I Die?

I have about $100k in private student loans with Sallie Mae, Chase Student and Nelnet. What happens if I die? Are my relatives responsible for this debt? No co-signer, just issued to me

1. Whoever your cosigner was for that particular loan would be responsible for paying it back if you were to die. This is only for your private student loans. Federal loans would be discharged upon your death. (Federal loans require no cosigner).
