Excluded Property in Divorce

:22px-Flag_of_British_Col:British Columbia

I’m in the early stages of separation and want to a rental lease in the near future, but am concerned about my name being on the title of my dad’s home.

I didn’t contribute financially to the purchase of the property, and I won’t benefit from its eventual sale. It is intended as an inheritance - so I’m listed on title only for estate planning and administrative convenience.

My question is: Should we move it into a trust or would a notarized letter explaining the intention suffice in protecting it from being included as a family asset? Or is there a third, quicker or more cost effective option? I assume I’d want to have this buttoned up before signing a lease.

I have an appointment with a family lawyer on Thursday but would like to start moving on housing so I can GTFO. Advice is greatly appreciated!
