Co-buyer = Name is on the title and has rights to the property. The lender will PROBABLY insist that this person also sign the loan as a co-signer or joint borrower.

All day, every day. That's why the lender required a co-signor.
The bank providing the loan will go after both the primary borrower and the co-signer to get the loan paid back. If the co-signer has more assets/is more liquid than the primary borrower, the bank may just focus on the co-signer as both parties (the co-signer and primary borrower) have full responsibility for the debt regardless of who benefited from the cash.
