You need to do a grant deed to yourself and your husband and sign it before a notary public.

Why would you want to do that? If you get divorced in the future you will lose 50% of your home.
I know you are in love now, but you never know. I do not know what the home is worth, but I do not understand why you would just give 50% of it away.
