The persons who are on title must both sign for a equity line of credit.
Yes, you own the house
Yes but your parents being on the deed will have to also sign.
No ditto answer---NO
I am assuming you mean that you own the house outright. The answer (provided you own the home without a mortgage) is yes. Home equity loans are designed for people who wish to borrow against the equity in the home. Remember, you have to own the home in order to use equity. This means your name has to be on the deed. (See related link below for more information.)
the pros are obvious. you get to buy the house whereas you couldn't with poor credit on your own. if they are a percentage owner on the deed they would get those proportional proceeds when the house would sell. ideally you would have them on the mortgage, but not on the deed.
Yes, you own the house
You can apply for an equity credit line mortgage as soon as you take title- when the deed has been recorded in the land records.
Refinance the mortgage with you listed as a borrower. You will not be reported to the credit bureaus by being listed on the deed since you have no obligation to pay the debt.

Yes. If you are a joint fee owner and you didn't sign the mortgage then your half interest is free of the mortgage.
Your spouse's credit score should not be affected if he/she is not on the deed or on the mortgage that was foreclosed.
If you are not on the deed then you don't own the property. If you don't own the property then you should not promise to pay the mortgage. A co-signer on a mortgage and promissory note is completely responsible for paying the mortgage. If the primary mortgagor (who in this case is the owner of the property) defaults on the mortgage the lender will go after the co-signer of the note for payment. A default will ruin your credit. If someone has asked you to sign their note and mortgage then you should require they execute a new deed with you as the co-owner of the property.
That depends on whose name was on the deed when the mortgage was executed.
You will not be able to keep your home equity line of credit if your house is in foreclosure or anything similar to it. This is standard across the United States.
You can't transfer the mortgage, but you can remortgage in her name only.
Children will normally inherit their parents' property, which will include the equity in a house, even if the mortgage is not fully paid.
