In essense what you are describing is loaning a car to another person for an indefinate period of time. If the arrangement is that the other person is to make the payments, it is a foolish thing for you to do, dangerous to you financially. But, no, you cannot get into criminal trouble, only trouble of a financial nature.

If the title to a car is in your name but the name for the car loan is in someone elses name who has legal ownership?

If only your name is on the title and the loan is not listed as a lien on that title then you are the legal owner. If someone else obtained a car loan for you then their name should be on the title to the car with yours. The question of ownership should be addressed if someone was kind enough to borrow money for you to have a car. The car should have full insurance coverage in case of an accident.

If two people buy a house then one person refinances in only their name is the other still on the title or do they no longer have rights to the home?

In order to refinance even in one persons name, anyone else who is on title must be present at closing. You can't legally refinance a home unless all people on title are present at closing. In any case names on a loan do not directly reflect names on title, you can have one person on a loan and 5 people on title.
