It means that you have promised to pay for real property you do not own. It means you are fully responsible or paying the mortgage if the primary borrower, the owner of the property, fails to make the payments.

If you are not an owner of the property and yet you signed a mortgage then you have volunteered to pay the indebtedness if the co-mortgagor (assumed to be the owner of the property) does not pay. One must wonder why you would sign the mortgage when you don't have any interest in the property. You have placed your credit record and your finances at risk.

If the owner doesn't pay the mortgage and the bank forecloses then your credit will be ruined and the bank may go after you for any shortfall after the property is sold at the foreclosure sale. If the owner fails to pay and you don't want your credit ruined then you will need to take over paying the debt. If you help to make the mortgage payments the owner could toss you out at any time. You will get no return on your investment. You have obligated yourself to pay for property you don't own.

The above is completely wrong.

If you are on the NOTE and not the deed then you agreed to repay the debt with no interest in the property.

If you are on the mortgage it only means that you agree to give up any rights to the property if it is foreclosed on. The mortgage is not an obligation to pay the Note is the obligation to pay.

For some reason only known to you, you promised to pay for property you do not own. Since the primary borrower, the owner, has died you will be responsible for paying off the mortgage or your own credit will be affected and the default and foreclosure will be reported to your personal credit record.

You have no financial obligation to pay the debt and you have an ownership interest in the property. However, this type of arrangement often means that you acquired your interest AFTER the mortgage was executed. In that case, your interest is subject to the mortgage. If the mortgage isn't paid the lender will take possession by foreclosure and your interest will be extinguished.

If your name is on the mortgage but not the deed do you own the property?

No. In order to be the owner of real property you must be named as grantee on the deed. If your name is on the mortgage but not on the deed you have obligated yourself to pay for real property you do not own. If the primary borrower defaults the lender will go after you for full payment of the mortgage yet you do not own the property.
