It depends on the state you live in, here in Florida it is automatic for a spouse to be added to any deeds at or prior to the closing. Florida is a community property state and the spouse MUST be on the deed, it is not required they be on the mortgage(NOTE)or loan. Now sometimes it does get missed by the title company, but with the amount of electronic information available to states, cities, counties etc... it will be realized at some point during the ownership of the parcel.

If a husband dies will a wife be responsible for the mortgage debt even if she is not on the note?

His estate will be responsible for the mortgage. Assuming the wife is not on the deed, if the mortgage isn't paid the bank will foreclose and take possession of the property covered by the mortgage. If the wife is on the deed and she consented to the mortgage the bank can foreclose. If she is on the deed and did not consent to the mortgage then the bank had a defective title and may not be able to foreclose.

How can you transfer the deed to my son after my wife passed away and the deed is in both our names?

If you and your wife owned the property by a survivorship deed you are now the sole owner and you can execute a deed that transfers the property to your son. You should always consult with an attorney who specializes in real estate when deed changes are contemplated. The attorney can review your situation, explain your options and inform you of all the consequences of making such a transfer. You should also discuss the reservation of a life estate. Remember that once you make the transfer the property will be vulnerable to your son's creditors, if any.
