Yes, you can use property owned by your family members as collateral for your education loan, even if it's not in your name. This is called third-party collateral, where a relative or family friend pledges their asset to support your loan application. Typically, the property must have clear ownership documents and be free from legal issues. A tripartite agreement among you, your lender, and the property owner will be required. Please connect with your lender to understand their specific requirements and ensure a smooth process.
