by adding names to a home pre-death you are 'gifting' the home at that time. thus potentially requiring the filing of a gift tax return and very efficiently losing the wonderful step up in basis to FMV at DOD that would have occurred if the home/asset were kept by the deceased until passing.
a note to all please consult your own atty/cpa on issues like this. no one scenario works for everyone.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
