Best Answer

The cosigner would need to agree. At the very least, consider what you are doing before you even ask.

If you needed a co-signer for the first thing, your finances are in disarray. You should be able to refinance the first loan in your name only and then and only then consider adding to your debts.

Answer

No. A person who agrees to be a co-signer on a note and mortgage does not need to be on the deed. However, if you don't own the property then you should not promise to guarantee the mortgage will be paid.

A co-signer on a note and mortgage is completely responsible for paying the mortgage if the primary borrower defaults. If someone has asked you to sign their note and mortgage you should consider the request carefully. If you decide to go ahead and sign you should also consider requiring that they execute a new deed with you as the co-owner of the property.

In New Jersey can a cosigner be removed from the deed without signing the quitclaim deed form?

The obligation of being a cosigner and the inclusion of the person's name on a deed are two different issues.

In addition, a quit claim to property is usually necessary, the action needed depends upon the laws of the state where the property is located.

No. A deed of trust demonstrates that a bank (or other lending institution) owns the property, however, the bank may not sell or pledge the property unless the borrower had not met loan conditions.

No, a quit claim deed only changes ownership of the property. The property will still remain collateral for the mortgage loan. The actual ownership of the property does not change the terms of the mortgage loan and the promise the signatories (you) made to the bank.

How can you be a cosigner if the title is in the name of the person you cosigned for?

Many people cosign a loan for property they don't own. Many are uninformed of the consequences of cosigning. They don't realize they are agreeing to be completely responsible for a loan for property that belongs to someone else. If the primary borrower defaults on the loan and the cosigner must make the payments, the cosigner has no automatic right to the property.
