Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

Re: Durable Power of Attorney regarding Rl Estate

My husband has Alzheimer's disease, and has signed durable ''power of attorney'' to me his wife, as well as health proxy.

If I have Power Of attorney can I put our residence in my name without his signature? On a Quit claim?

I wish to protect my assets before he becomes eligible for nursing home care. Please advise me. Thank you.

Good Luck
