Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New York

I’d like for my son to automatically own our house when my husband and I are gone. I don’t want the house to go through probate.Right now, mine and my husband’s name are on the deed. We own the house. The mortgage is paid. How do I change the deed? Thank you
