That is entirely up to the lender. Generally, a lender sets up the transaction so that it can take the property by foreclosure if the borrower fails to pay. Therefore, an experienced lender requires that all the owners sign the mortgage. If only one joint tenant signs the mortgage the lender would only acquire a half interest by foreclosure. A half interest is hard to sell.

Most mortgages that are signed by only one of the owners are errors made by inexperienced lenders.
