If your name is not on the deed but you still signed the mortgage that didn't give you any property rights. You volunteered to pay the mortgage even though you don't own the land. If the primary mortgagee doesn't pay (the land owner) the bank will go after you for payment. If there is a foreclosure and there remains a deficiency between the sale at the foreclosure and the amount owed on the note, the bank may go after you for payment. People who don't have a fee interest in the real estate should not sign mortgages.

The deed/title to any property determines the legal ownership, not the mortgage. If you are not named on the deed to the property, you have no "automatic" ownership rights.

Is there any problem if ones wife is not working so her name cant be in the deed of the property?

There is no reason that working would affect the ability to have someone's name on the deed. The mortgage company or bank may want restrictions, but in most cases, the wife's name has to be on the deed, or the state laws will 'assume' that it is on the deed anyway. The wife typically has rights 'dower rights' to the property whether her name is on the deed or not.

No. In order to be the owner of real property you must be named as grantee on the deed.

Most mortgages carry boilerplate language that provides if the property is transferred the lender can demand full payment of the mortgage.If your name was added by deed after the mortgage was executed then your interest in the property is subject to the mortgage.
