Yes it does, Only after you refinance the property may you take the cosigners name of the mortgage loan.
If you are not an owner of the property, as a co-signer you are fully responsible for paying the mortgage. You have no other rights in the property.
The only way to become the owner of real property is by deed or by inheritance. A person cannot make themselves the owner. They must acquire ownership via a deed from the legal owner. If you co-signed a mortgage for land you do not own then you are simply a volunteer who agreed to pay the mortgage on land you do not own. That doesn't give you any ownership interest in the property. If you are a co-owner of the property who also co-signed a mortgage, you cannot make yourself the "primary" owner of the property. You would need a deed from the other co-owner.
The grantee in the deed is the owner of the property. A person who does not own the property can agree to sign the mortgage and be responsible for paying for the property. That does not give them an ownership interest.The grantee in the deed is the owner of the property.

The owner can sell the property. If one person is on the deed then that person can sell the property. The mortgage must be paid off at the time of the sale.

Yes. Property remains subject to a mortgage until the mortgage is paid off. If a person purchases property that is subject to a mortgage that the seller granted to a bank, the new owner must pay the mortgage or the bank can foreclose.
Check your title paperwork. If the cosigner is listed on the title then you are co owners. If the cosigner is not listed on the title then you are the only owner. More times than not a cosigner is also listed on the title.
If the primary borrower defaults the cosigner can get "stuck" with a huge debt and ruined credit. A cosigner has the same legal obligation to repay a loan as does the primary borrower. In addition, a cosigner does not have property owner rights, only the debt. The real question is why would anyone agree to pay a mortgage for land they do not own. A co-signer has an equal obligation to pay the mortgage.
Whoever granted the mortgage to the bank must have owned the property at that time. If they later conveyed the property to a new owner they breached their mortgage agreement with the bank and the new owner took the property subject to the mortgage. The bank can take possession of the property if the mortgage isn't paid.
The loan must be paid off or refinanced and the co-owner must transfer their interest in the property to the person who will be keeping the property.
If the property is subject to a mortgage the mortgage must be paid off at the time of the sale of the property to a new owner. The holder of the mortgage must provide a signed release of the mortgage that can be recorded in the land records.The owner of the property signs the deed that transfers the property to the new owner.The new owner of the property signs the new mortgage.
