Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana

Sit down and talk to your husband about this. He could add you to the deed, give you a transfer upon death deed, a life estate, or probably several other solutions exist. Once you and your husband have decided what you would like to do, talk to an attorney. There is nothing you can MAKE him do beyond filing for divorce and looking to get your share in the equity.

Your fears are justified. You might have some partial right to the house upon your husband’s death, but it isn’t great. So, to protect yourself, you should be put onto the title to the home, or alternatively, to have the house deeded o that you have a life estate o live there for the rest of your years.
