No. You can deduct home mortgage interest only if you meet all the following conditions.

You must file Form 1040 and itemize deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040).

*You must be legally liable for the loan. You cannot deduct payments you make for someone else if you are not legally liable to make them. Both you and the lender must intend that the loan be repaid. In addition, there must be a true debtor-creditor relationship between you and the lender.

*The mortgage must be a secured debt on a qualified home in which you have an ownership interest. (Generally, your mortgage is a secured debt if you put your home up as collateral to protect the interests of the lender. The term "qualified home" means your main home or second home. For details, see Publication 936.)

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)
