The name on the deed is the owner of the property. The name on the mortgage is the person who must pay the debt underlying the mortgage. Prior to the recent lowering of mortgage standards across the country (leading to the sub-prime crisis), the lender would always confirm that ALL the owners on the deed also executed the mortgage. If the mortgage is subsequently foreclosed that enables the lender to take title to the property. If only one co-owner signed the mortgage the lender would only get that proportionate interest in a foreclosure. If you don't own the property and you sign the mortgage you are placing yourself in a position of debt for property you don't own. Many lenders are asking non-fee-owners to co-sign notes. That way if the owner goes into default the lender can go after the co-signer for payment. It is a very bad practice with no benefit to the non-owning co-signer.
