Generally that means the mortgage was given to the bank before your name went on the deed. In that case you need to pay the mortgage or the bank will take the property by foreclosure.

Can a married person sign a mortgage without spouse?

I would think so, the deed may be issued in your name only, and if you are taking on the mortgage yourself keep the deed in your name, your spouse will get the home anyway if you pass away, unless your will says otherwise. Also i would take out the insurance in case of death so the house gets paid for, its a little more added to the mortgage but if it is in your name and your spouse and something happens the mortgage gets paid, who knows what happens down the road. If newly married or for 5 yrs I would keep the home in your name, who knows these days? Divorce happens, couples fight, why worry down the road, why fight over the home, don't think it can't happen to you hope this helps


If your spouse is on the deed but not the mortgage do the proceeds at closing go to the mortgage holder or both parties on the deed?

The "parties on the deed" are the owners of the property. The proceeds go to the owners. The proceeds wil be split 50-50 if there is a conflict about the distribution and as long as there is no language in the deed creating a different scheme of ownership.
