Contact your bank to see if your loan contains such a clause.

Why are both spouses required to be on the property deed but not on the refinanced mortgage loan and who would be responsible upon the death of one spouse?

The deed to property and the wording of the deed establishes ownership. If a married couple does not reside in a community property state it is very important that both spouses be on the deed with the correct ownership status noted. In a case of death where only one spouse is listed on the financial agreement but both are named on the deed the probate laws apply. If the surviving spouse wishes to retain the property and he or she is not a co-buyer they will most likely be required to reaffirm the mortgage with the lender if the mortgage was not protected by insurance.
