The DEED is signed by the person SELLING the house and transfers the property to the new owner(s). If your name is on the deed as one of the owners, then yes, you have a right to some of the equity. But since you said CO-SIGNER instead of CO-OWNER, I think you signed the MORTGAGE, which is one of the loan documents.

"What if your name is on the DEED as 1/3 co-owner, you have never paid a penny towards the property, the property is sold, do you have rights to any of the equity?"

If your name is on the deed then you are entitled to your portion of the proceeds from any sale. In fact the property cannot be sold in its entirety without your signature. The other shares can be sold and then a partion can be forced if you are a minority owner.

If you are just a cosigner on the mortgage you have no rights to the equity in the property. However you need to be sure that your obligation is fully released if the property is sold.

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. Being removed from a deed does not relieve the cosigner of the financial obligation of the loan. 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.
