Im married in florida, do both names have to go on title?

my wife is buying a property cash and id prefer to keep my name off it but my broker said my name would have to go on title? He didn't sound for sure.

I dont even know why i should worry but my thinking was if anyone ever came after me for any reason i wouldn't have this asset in my name. Im probably being over cautions because im pretty sure near nobody can touch your main residence in florida but i may want to rent it out one day.

    Its best to keep in only in her name. If by chance you guys decide to buy more using bank financing you can buy separate and buy more this way.

    Don't ask a real estate broker for legal advice. Ask a lawyer. Florida is not a community property state, so there should be no problem with having title just in her name.
