You cannot "put your name on the deed". Your husband must sign a quitclaim deed that transfers his interest to you. If that is not possible, you would need to bring an action to a court of equity. Only a judge can affect the title to real estate through a court order.
Ownership of real property is determined by the names on the deed.
If the house is paid for he can present it as a gift and change the deed over(this will have a fee and you may need a lawyer or something). If the house is mortgaged, call the mortgage company, they will know.
No. If the property is in his name then he is the owner and the property can be sold only if he signs the deed.
You cannot "take a name off the title". Your husband would need to execute a deed to convey his interest to you. You should consult with an attorney who can explain the consequences of making such a transfer. If you decide to proceed the attorney can draft a proper deed.
Your state law, as interpreted by your lawyer, will determine whether you can use this process to obtain the deed, and what are the required steps. In many states you cannot obtain a deed in this manner, but would have to actually occupy the premises (exclusively and adversely) for, say, 10 or 20 years, before you could claim any legal ownership.

If he qualifies alone, federal law allows him to apply without you. However, the lender may either have you sign the Deed of Trust, or may require that you be deeded off the house for the transaction to take place. In the latter occurs the lender may allow you to go back on after. Check with the lender, some have verbiage in the Deed of Trust forbidding any ownership changes.
Deed of the estate or, deed of the house (if it's a house)
What does life rights mean on a deed.
You and your husband are the legal owners of the property but it is subject to the mortgage. If you default on the mortgage payments the bank can take possession of the property by foreclosure.
That depends on whether he was the only name on the deed. If it was, the wife will inherit.
No, it is not possible to sell a house without a deed. The deed is a legal document that proves ownership of the property and is required for the transfer of ownership to a new buyer.
