A joint mortgage is executed by two people who own real estate. Each is responsible for paying the mortgage in full.

A co-signer has no ownership interest in the property but they have agreed to pay off the mortgage if the primary borrower fails to pay. In other words, they agree to pay the mortgage for property they don't own.
