My wife and I own a house together that is worth approx. $300K. It is paid for. We want to put the house in her name only, since I own a corporation, and we want to protect the house if I would ever be named personally in a lawsuit against my company. My question is, would I have any rights to this asset if I signed it over to my wife because of the fact that we're still married? We're not having marital problems, so part of me thinks that this arrangement shouldn't even be an issue. But it also makes nervous to be living in a house I would have no legal right to. Any advice?

This will give you the right to live in the property until death. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial success

As far as your assets are concerned, you'll have to divide it amongst yourselves. You can decide which of the assets you wish to keep in your name and accordingly take the decision. As far as stocks, accounts and pension is considered, I would suggest you to contact an attorney and take his opinion in this regard. Sussane
