Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

My wife had an audit done on her closed business and has a $600,000 BOE sales tax bill with a fraud penalty too. Our house is in my name and the state is about to put a nominee lien on it to eventually pay the tax bill. Can I still pass the house to my wife when I die and can she still live there and if my wife dies first can I still pass the house to my step-son (her son from another marriage) or other person in my will after I die or will it be taken and sold to pay the tax debt? I\'m just not sure how that works? I was about to do a LegalZoom trust/will package but am checking first. Thanks.
