How can I make sure my son can stay in my house when I die?

Q. What I would have to legally do to make sure my youngest son stays in my home after I die? I am in my 70s and I have three children. My youngest son and his wife and two kids have lived with me in my home for the last five years due to my bad health. I don’t want any issues to arise after my passing with my older two children, and they know I intend to leave my home to my youngest son. I just don’t have it on paper and I don’t have money for an attorney. What should I do?
Should I add my daughter’s name to my home’s deed?

Q. I am a single retired parent to an adult daughter who is an only child. The home I currently reside for the last 26 years still has a mortgage and the deed is in my name only. I have a will that states everything is left to my daughter, and then to my grandson if she proceeds me in death. Should my daughter be added to the deed? Can she just sell the house when I die or does she need to go before a judge?
