Yes, title can be held as separate property by granting it from you and spouse to "[your name], a married person as his/her sole and separate property." In order to make it stick, however, you should document intent to make a gift of community property to you as separate property. If spouse has a drinking problem, you will need to make sure they are completely sober when they sign things too.
