If you owe money on a home you should hold title. A deed is the document that is publicly recorded. It signifies that you have an ownership interest in the real property described in the deed. It is not required that you have a deed, but it is not technically your house if you do not have a deed since you are not on title. It is not good to have a mortgage on a home that you don't own. Typically this can only occur if you sign a Quit Claim Deed that takes you off title. When you purchase a house it is the most critical part of the transaction since it is the document that actually transfers ownership.
