The short answer is, nothing good. As a co-signer, you are still responsible for making sure the mortgage payments are made in full on time. However, you should talk to the bank that holds the mortgage to see what you need to do, particularly if the title of the house doesn't come to you through the will or settling of the estate.

What happens when you remove a cosigner from your house deed?

First and foremost, you cannot remove a "co-signer" of a mortgage from the obligations of the mortgage. They may release their interest in the property by signing a deed but that doesn't release them from their obligation to pay the mortgage.This type of situation often happens in a divorce when the parties have a poorly drawn agreement that one will convey their interest to the other and the other will take responsibility for the mortgage. It doesn't work that way legally. The bank is not bound by a divorce agreement. The mortgage must be paid off and refinanced in the name of the person who will take sole ownership.
