Get a quit claim deed - have your husband quit claim the house to you & him as joint tenants with rights of survivorship (this is how you will hold title) - & have this notarized - you can do this right at the hosptial - ask the hospitals information desk, tell them you need a document notarized
You can have a real estate lawyer prepare one for you which they will charge a fee or you can obtain a quit claim deed yourself (my option) - here is a link for you "http://www.ilrg.com/forms/quitdeed.html" or go to an office supply store & get one - some courthouses have them as well - call your county's register of deeds office & ask - good luck! I used to work for a real estate attorney so my advice is valid I assure you!

Hi Rose,
If your husband quitclaim the property and transfer it to your name, you will own the property. Just remember to notarize the deed and record it in your county recorder office to make the deed valid.
Thank you,
Larry
