What if I am on the mortgage but not the deed?
If your name is on the mortgage, but not the deed, this means that you are not an owner of the home. Rather, you are simply a co-signer on the mortgage. Because your name is on the mortgage, you are obligated to pay the payments on the loan just as the individual who owns the home.

Do you get the deed when you take out a mortgage?
A: Thanks for your question. Let’s start by saying that when you take out a loan, you generally give a lender a mortgage or deed of trust. A mortgage creates a lien on your property that gives the lender the right to foreclose and sell the home to satisfy the debt you owe.
Do you have to sign the title deed if you don’t own the House?
You Can’t Mortgage What You Don’t Own. Lenders require one or more borrowers to sign the title deed because you cannot mortgage what you don’t own. In every mortgage scenario, the borrower has to put the home up as collateral for the loan, which means the bank can foreclose and sell the property if you don’t keep up your mortgage payments.
Can a person be on a deed without being on the deed?
In such cases, there is one person on the mortgage but two on the deed. Both spouses are owners, but only one person is responsible for paying the mortgage. Some people may not want to add their names to the deed of the house because they are evading creditors. The person whose name is on the deed is the legal owner of the property.
What happens if your spouse is not on the deed?
Property Deed. If your name and your spouse’s name are on the deed, as is likely, the property was given or sold to both of you. That means that each of you have a legal interest in the property. The fact that you are not on a home insurance document probably doesn’t impact your liability on the mortgage.
