More details to this question:
Bought a mobile home. I paid 25,000 down my boyfriend cosigned for me. He is now my husband and has of course paid on this. Will this house be totally mine so I can will it to my grandson or will his name also be on the title?

It depends upon who has their name on the title to the mobile home - regardless of who paid the mortgage on it. He, nonetheless, may have a claim to part of the home if he paid substantial money towards it under and equitable trust claim. Speak to a lawyer about this matter before going further. Good luck.

Since you are married, if you died before him, then he would have the right to a life estate (live in the home for his life) or 1/2 the proceeds from the sale of the home unless you had him sign away his rights through a deed or post nuptial agreement.

That depends on what you and he signed when you bought it.
