Make a living will giving him so much a year without having to pay taxes or a simple will leaving your 1/2 of the house to him regardless of what she wants. As long as its in writing. You can contact an estates and wills attorney for exact wording

I believe you need an estate lawyer. Our house is right to surviorship so the other half gets it automatically but there is also something called tenants in common where the other half doesn't inheirt your half unless you leave it to them. Laws vary from state to state so an estate lawyer will be able to help you with what is best.

Get a lawyer NOW. Make a will and make it clear that your son gets 1/2 of all that is yours even if she is still alive.

write out a living will if the house is yours then you can leave it to your son. If it is in boyh names I think that there is really nothing you can do, but it varies from state to state.
