I really can't answer your question about whether or how you should put your husband's name on the deed to your property without knowing a lot more information about what you wish to accomplish and how you want ALL of your property (including both real estate and other assets) to pass to your loved ones at your death. I also would need to know more information about your husband and his family. It may be best for you NOT to add your husband to your deed. If you only want to ensure that he receives ownership of the property at your death, it may be better for you to change your estate planning documents and put a bequest of the property in them.   My suggestion is for you to meet with an estate planning attorney and get an estate planning consultation. That will help you decide what you'd really like to do and let you know the best way to do it.   Best wishes to you.
