Rights to a home

[Tate75]

Illinois
I bought a home for my mom however she is technically still married to a man in another state. They haven't been together in years.
For tax considerations I would like to add my mother to the title of the home for a Senior citizen exemption and tax freeze. Would her "husband" in another state (PA) have any rights to that house while he's alive or would some of his other heirs have rights to the house should he die?
thanks for your help!

Perhaps...

I would suggest that you find another way to avoid taxation.

She should get divorced before you make her the gift of 1/2 of the house. Although, gifts do normally remain separate property.

Not necessarily as she would spend marital funds on upkeep.. thus making it marital property to a certain extent.
