Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia
Real Estate
Would it be in my best interest or logical to add my name to the deed for a home which my wife purchased while we were separated year ago? We are currently back together (Since June 2006), but there is the chance of another separation or divorce in six months to a year.

Why, of course, it would be in your best interests to get your name added to the deed(if you can pull it off), but not necessarily in your wifes's (best interests), under the circumstances which you've described.
And, furthermore, only your wife would have the authority to add your name to the deed, thereby making you an owner of a one half interest in the undivided whole(property).
