Can someone be on the deed but not the mortgage?

It is possible to be named on the title deed of a home without being on the mortgage. However, doing so assumes risks of ownership because the title is not free and clear of liens and possible other encumbrances. If a mortgage exists, it’s best to work with the lender to make sure everyone on the title is protected.
