If your name is on the deed, then you are a legal owner. Accordingly, your name cannot be taken of the title without your knowldege and consent. It's the same as for any other property that you may hold in your name.

No: you may not be taken off the deed without your knowledge and consent (agreement) any more than someone can legally take your car, your computer, the money in your wallet, etc. from you. Being on a deed gives you ownership (or part ownership, if there is more than one person on the deed) over the real estate: no one can simply take something you own from you.
