Title is a legal term for a bundle of rights in a piece of property in which a party may own either a legal interest or an equitable interest.[1] The rights in the bundle may be separated and held by different parties. It may also refer to a formal document that serves as evidence of ownership. Conveyance of the document may be required in order to transfer ownership in the property to another person

If you cosigned for your brothers house and he has since obtained a second mortgage on the property will he need your signature to sell the house?

If you are on the title, he will have to get your signature. The fact that he got a home equity with out you signing ( assuming you did not sign ) tells me you are not on title. You would have had to sign for that also. You have to sign to every transaction if you are on title / deed to the house.

How do you get a title to a house?

To get title to a house (real property--a house on land, a condo, or manufactured home with eliminated title), you must receive a deed from the current owner of record of the real property you wish to acquire. When the deed is signed by the current owner, it must be notarized and recorded in the property records of the county where the real property is located. Then, you are the title owner of the house. On personal property (mobile, modular, and manufactured homes), the current owner of the home signs off on the state-issued title to the home. If there is a lender or other legal owner on the title, that owner or lender must sign off also. Then, the new owner must take the signed off title to the state agency that handles vehicle titles. A new title with the new owner's name will be issued.
