Title is the legal right to use, possess, control and dispose of property. The legal link between a person and their property is legal title. Title to real property is evidenced by a deed.
In a recorded land system the new deed is recorded in the land records and title to the real estate is thereby transferred to the new owner. If the grantee in the current deed is Dave Brubeck then title to the property is in Dave Brubeck.
Some jurisdictions use the Torrens System of Land Registration to register ownership of land. In that case, when ownership of land is transferred to a new owner by deed, the deed is filed in the Registration Office and a new Certificate of Title is issued in the name of the new owner.

Who owns the house the owner or co signer?
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.
Is the buyer the owner?
The OWNER is listed on the TITLE and/or registration. The buyer actually becomes the owner when all financial obligations are paid in full. For instance... when you are buying a house you are considered to be an owner because you hold the deed. But, there is a Deed of Trust for the property, held by the lender. That gives the lender the right to take the property if the borrower defaults.
If only one is on property title?
The grantee in the deed is the owner of the property. If you are not mentioned in the deed you are not an owner.
How do you get a title to a house?
To get title to a house (real property--a house on land, a condo, or manufactured home with eliminated title), you must receive a deed from the current owner of record of the real property you wish to acquire. When the deed is signed by the current owner, it must be notarized and recorded in the property records of the county where the real property is located. Then, you are the title owner of the house. On personal property (mobile, modular, and manufactured homes), the current owner of the home signs off on the state-issued title to the home. If there is a lender or other legal owner on the title, that owner or lender must sign off also. Then, the new owner must take the signed off title to the state agency that handles vehicle titles. A new title with the new owner's name will be issued.
Can you sell a house without the deed?
If you owe money on a home you should hold title. A deed is the document that is publicly recorded. It signifies that you have an ownership interest in the real property described in the deed. It is not required that you have a deed, but it is not technically your house if you do not have a deed since you are not on title. It is not good to have a mortgage on a home that you don't own. Typically this can only occur if you sign a Quit Claim Deed that takes you off title. When you purchase a house it is the most critical part of the transaction since it is the document that actually transfers ownership.
