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.

Can a house be sold with your name on the deed as co-signer?

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.

If one spouse's name is on the deed and mortgage does the other spouse have any rights of claim to the property?

If it's the primary residence, both spouses have equal rights of ownership regardless of whose name is on the deed or mortgage. Second homes or investment properties do not apply to this. The court assumes "tenants in common" ownership for any married couple regarding their primary residence. (there may be an exception in some states if the house was owned by one person before they got married, and now the spouse lives there too - ask a lawyer if that's the case)

What if 2 people are on a mortgage and one moves out of the home in North Carolina?

The names on a mortgage are not what decides ownership, the deed to the house is the determining factor. Married couples generally own a house by Joint Tenancy With Surviviorship Rights, Joint Tenancy or in a few states Tenancy By The Entirety. Even if one spouse leaves the residence he/she does not lose their rights of ownership.

Whoever inherits the house would need to either pay off the mortgage or refinance the house to take ownership of the house.
