You can buy the house in your name only, but your husband will have some legal interest in the house if you die. If you really want to have seperate property like this, you probably shoud not be married in the first place. If you are trying to keep assets from your husband's debtors, then that is different.

If you want to resolve his interest in the home you can have him sign a post-nuptial agreement disclaiming his interest in the house..If you need help you can send me an e-mail to discuss further. You can review my website at FloridaLegal ServicesOnline.com. for additional info.
