Asked in Estate Planning, Family Law and Real Estate Law for North Carolina

Q: My husband wants to remove my name from the deed of our home for his Last Will purposes.

He asked me to meet with his Estate planner regarding the plans for his will. He mentioned on having the deed solely under his name so it wont be hard to divide his estate between me, his kids, grandkids and great grandkids. We've been married for 9 years and we are living in a $600,000k house. He wants to make sure that his family will get equal share of his estate. Im afraid I'd be left homeless if God firbid something happens to him. Should I sign or are there other way to get around on splitting his estate?
