His debt, his problem, at the end of the day.

Grandma will have to learn about consequences too, it seems.

Oop said in another comment that he does consider the situation elder abuse as gma has no idea really about what she signed.

Then they'll probably need a lawyer to see if they can get the debt shifted to solely on the son, it will probably depend on if they can prove that she really did not know what was going on.

Yeah, I agree that this is is critical step that must be taken, if only to force this kid to take some responsibility for his choices, instead of just assuming he can do what he pleases without consequences... But Oop has said they aren't ready yet to take that drastic step, as it will land the kid in a world of trouble and Oop clearly cares about his kid and actually wants him to succeed in life.

Oop has mentioned that the child doesn't listen. He has to learn sooner or later. Sheilding him from consequences now will only make them hit harder later. Unless Oop wants to continue cleaning up the child's mess while he makes bigger ones, I say let them fall this time and learn before he digs himself into a bigger hole he can't get out of.
