Yes. If you own an interest in real estate by deed then the property is vulnerable to your creditors unless the property is held with your legal spouse as tenants by the entirety.

Absolutely right ... and to add:

The only way to get your name off the mortgage loan is to refinance the loan.

Regarding the deed: even if you filed a "quit claim deed", your name does not get removed from the original paperwork. Again, the only way to completely remove your name from any ownership of the residence, is to refinance the loan without your name listed on the note.

If a husband dies will a wife be responsible for the mortgage debt even if she is not on the note?

His estate will be responsible for the mortgage. Assuming the wife is not on the deed, if the mortgage isn't paid the bank will foreclose and take possession of the property covered by the mortgage. If the wife is on the deed and she consented to the mortgage the bank can foreclose. If she is on the deed and did not consent to the mortgage then the bank had a defective title and may not be able to foreclose.

If you default on your mortgage in Ohio can the bank confiscate other property you own in Alaska to pay the debt?

Not unless you gave the interest in the Alaska property as collateral for the loan. If you signed the Security Deed..debt deed with only the Ohio property (unless it contains a "blanket mortgage" clause or cross-collaterazation clause giving the address & legal description to the Alaska property) you are fine. Also the Security Deed or Debt Deed would have to be recorded in Alaska (in the city or county) where the property is to be an enforceable lien.
