Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

HI! My husband and I have bought a house in Texas. He is the only one on the mortgage loan. I am his wife and have signed a deed of trust. We have a prenutpial agreement. I would like to pay off the house completely 142000 dollars but want to make sure that I will get 75 percent ownership of the house.

My husband has agreed to do that. How can I secure that I will be the owner of the house to 75 percent in case we separate or divorce in the future? We will be married for 10 years in July of 2010.;

Thank you so much for your help. Kerstin

In order to do this, you would need to execute an antenuptual agreement, specifying the terms you mentioned above, and then your husband would need to execute a fractional interest warranty deed for 75% of the property. I would also recommend your using a title company to effectuate the transfer.
