If I bought a very expensive house for my father, should I ensure that if anything happens to him the house will return to me?

Id like to gift my father a house. My father is married to my stepmother and they have two children. Throughout the years my step mother has never treated me well. When I try to have a relationship with my siblings Im blocked or given a lot of difficulty. If I do not say anything it is very likely that my father would leave the house to his wife and children. And they will of reaped the benefits from a person they did not treat fairly. Should I just ignore this or ensure the house is returned to me?
P.S. I would not kick them out or anything. They just would not be able to sell it and get money from me.

Not sure about Jamaican laws, but you should see an attorney specializing in real estate in your area. I would advise not putting it solely in your name for liability reasons. If you did, you should require that he purchase adequate property and liability insurance, but then you would need confirmation that the premiums have been paid on time. You might be able to joint tenancy or something similar with both his and your name on the deed/title. Then if he passes before you, his half is yours.
