While your husband may be able to "technically" transfer title of the property, it doesn't change the fact that you have a marital interest in it and he has to compensate you upon the divorce being granted, for whatever your share may be determined by the court. The starting point and presumption is that it be 50/50. I also don't know that there wil be a way for him to transfer title of the property without consideration, and avoid federal gift tax implications or have a title report issued on the property and once the title company learned that he was married, they would require a marital waiver or consent form to be signed by you to allow the transfer. My guess is your husband is just trying to intiimidate you. You should consider sitting down with an experienced family lawyer to discuss your case as soon as possible.
