A legitimate lender will require that all the owners sign the mortgage and note. That is the way a lender protects its interest. If a borrower defaults on a mortgage the bank can take possession of the property by foreclosure and then sell it to recoup the money it loaned to the borrower. If two people own the property and only one signed the mortgage, the lender can only take the interest of the one who signed the mortgage- a half interest.

Allowing only one owner to sign a mortgage is a serious mistake made by inexperienced and unprofessional lenders

The mortgage holder may require you to get a new mortgage on the property, rather than assume the existing loan. You are essentially leaving them what ever value you own of the house.
