[Is it permissible to have my wife's name on my assets ?]

Fatawa Question

As-Salamu `Alaykum Dr. Kahf. I have two assets ; my house and a mutual fund. Both of these assets have my wife's name with right of survivorship. Can I put a clause in my will stating, "After my death these assets will not be sold for shares distribution to my children until my wife passes away" ? I want to do this so that my wife can have a place to live and an income from the mutual fund. Jazaka Allah Khair.
