Deeds don't have co-signers; loans have co-signers. Loan responsibility and property ownership rights are separate. If you are listed as a part-owner of a property it CAN NOT be sold without your signature on the transfer documents. If you are a co-signer on a mortgage loan but are not listed on the deed, you have no property rights unless you have rights under community property laws.
The DEED is signed by the person SELLING the house and transfers the property to the new owner(s). If your name is on the deed as one of the owners, then yes, you have a right to some of the equity. But since you said CO-SIGNER instead of CO-OWNER, I think you signed the MORTGAGE, which is one of the loan documents. "What if your name is on the DEED as 1/3 co-owner, you have never paid a penny towards the property, the property is sold, do you have rights to any of the equity?" If your name is on the deed then you are entitled to your portion of the proceeds from any sale. In fact the property cannot be sold in its entirety without your signature. The other shares can be sold and then a partion can be forced if you are a minority owner. If you are just a cosigner on the mortgage you have no rights to the equity in the property. However you need to be sure that your obligation is fully released if the property is sold. lwpat http://www.speedingticketcentral.com
Yes, but if your name was added to a deed after the owner granted the mortgage 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 wiped out.If the mortgage is paid and the house is sold you will receive half of the proceeds at the time of sale.
The mortgage will be paid off from the proceeds of the sale. The buyer's attorney will make certain the mortgage is paid off before the buyer takes title.
The ONLY reason a person would request that you not be on the deed and mortgage would be to INSURE that you would have no legal right to the property. If he expects you to help pay the mortgage you would be paying for property you do not own. You and your boyfriend are not buying a house. Your boyfriend is buying a house and he wants you to help him pay for it. You would be entitled to nothing when the property is sold.
Plenty of homes are sold to individuals without a cosigner. Usually there are only 2 reasons a bank will ask for a co signer. One being, if their prospective client does not have sufficiant funds available to make the estimated mortgage payments and other monthly debt payments and stay under 50% debt to income ratio, two being credit issues.
Not if the division of property requires it to be sold and split.

yes you do
You still owe your part of the loan. Are you sure you are not listed on the deed? Check that out. You could possibly get part of the equity in the house if it is sold that could pay off your part of the loan. Go get a good lawyer. I had a bad one and didn't get the equity I deserved.
No. If the property is in his name then he is the owner and the property can be sold only if he signs the deed.
It will depend on the type of deed. If there are no survivor ship clauses, the house may have to be sold.

No, the house is in the name of the one spouse. Which is why you MUST make sure you put both names on a deed.
Depends on how the deed is written. In general it would be a proportionate share to the number of persons on the deed. If there are two names, you would be entitled to half of the proceeds after all liens and mortgages are cleared.
Yes, land in Missouri can only be sold with a collector's deed. Once you have the collector's deed, you then need to file for the Certificate of Purchase.
