you can if you want if it makes you feel better and your husband if he respects your wishes will do this.
but since your marred this is a legal contract you would get everything anyway unless a will stated otherwise.
and if a will did state otherwise you have the right to contest it being the wife

Please do not take this advice from me seriously because it's just based on my own opinion. If you truly think that you can trust him again and but before you sign any legal papers its better for you to know what he has been through the past 6 years, also you better observe his movements and prove what his motives are but if you really trust him and still and will care for him no matter then go on ahead. But remember this, you can take advice from anyone but in the end the decision is still up to you and no one else.

Adding names to a deed can be restricted in the mortgage note. There are options for quit claim deed if the mortgage allows it.
See a real estate attorney.

If you are not currently divorced, then it does not matter whose name is on the deeds. As long as you are married, legally, what's his is yours and what's yours is his.
If, in the future, you do decide to get a divorce, the courts will not care whose name is on what. They will assume that you own everything together, and then will divide it up between you.

I think legally it would be yours except if he decided to give it to someone else! Then you would have a nice court battle, especially if he has any children from another marriage!
Not legal advice, but why did you give him 1/2 the money with nothing to show for it! It was a gift!

If you are in UK and married than it doesn't matter whose name is on the deeds all property is communal and it is yours if he dies.He can only bequeath his half to someone else if he wishes which is still the case if his name is on the deeds with yours.

Absolutely. He can change his will at anytime, depending on which state you reside in, the house may or may not be "family assets". You name on the deed protects your legal rights to the house.
