Okay, this question is a bit premature as we've not yet spoken with a lawyer, but I'll ask it:
Any opinions on putting a house in your own (and your spouses) name, verses having it solely in your spouses name? It has been suggested to us that a physician should never have their name on the title of the house, in case of malpractice lawsuits- protecting the property? Perhaps putting it in a trust would protect it? Perhaps this is faulty advice- just soliciting opinions.
We will be speaking with a lawyer about this sometime soon.
