Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

tenants in common - mother/son

my husband owns a pre marital property he purchased with money he inherited when his father passed away. the father and the mother were never married. my husband and his mother always lived in this property until he married me and moved in with me. the mother now wants him to add her to the deed. what would be the best way to do it so she owns 50% and he owns 50%? I just don't want the mother to keep her half and then ask for credits for the mortgage and the payments she's made since she still lives there, in case something would happen to my husband. we have a daughter together and I would like for my daughter to keep his half intact.
