*Title* implies ownership, and that is probably what you're after. Having a home with a mortgage means you *own* the home, but that there are other interested parties with a stake in that ownership (you know who).
In many states, a person can hold *title* to a property (and be an owner) while another person carries the mortgage (if any) on that property. This happens frequently in the case where, for instance, a working child takes out a mortgage on a home owned by a retired parent. The *mortgage* is carried by one person (who must be given title to close the loan), while the property is held along with another.
Most Title and Escrow companies can handle this for you. A Notary Public will usually know about this and make any documents you execute official with the county authorities.
A quitclaim deed will remove someone from or add someone to the title to your home or other property. A common occurrence of this would be two people who are married to each other and one spouse gives up any interest in the property in question that the other spouse owns.
Good Luck,
