If you want to have your name added to the deed then your husband can prepare a deed from himself, as seller, to the two of you, as buyers. Then the deed has to be recorded in the county clerk or county register's office.

I believe its called a "quit claim deed"

"Quitclaim deeds are commonly used to transfer real property between spouses or to add a spouse to the title because the spouse who previously owned the property probably already has some sort of warranty deed, so further warranties don't need to be made to new spouse."
