I am so sorry for your loss.  Do you still own the house or did he get it in the divorce but you just never executed the deed at that time to give to him?  What you wish to do sounds legal on its face but I would speak with an attorney in your area on the specifics, especially if it will in any way influence your financial condition.  Good luck.
