    Sorry no, you can add them to your deed NOW, as owners with right of survivalship. Where the others get the share of the person who died. But what you want is a will to give them a house after you die.

    If you do the will thing the will has to go through probate court through an attorney. This will cost your heirs to have to pay a set percentage of the value of the house. If you wish to do it the other way by adding them onto the deed with the survivorship rights, they will not have to go through probate and incur the attorney's fees (which are not negotiable, by the way). The choice is yours.
