Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

Right of Survivor

I am considering jointly purchasing a residential property with an individual who is married. Could the deed or a binding Will or any other appropriate document be drawn up to state that if the individual died before I did, the property would be owned soley by me and the surviving spouse would have no legal claim to the property?

The property is in the state of Delaware.
