it is admitted fact that all the consideration has been paid by you. you should prepare an agreement that after one year of possession she will transfer this house to you because consideration was paid by you. this agreement is valid however she will get possession in future. if she retract you can easily prove that consideration was paid by you. hence it shall be your property.

Since anything can happen anytime, as a precautionary measure, you may ask her to write a will bequeathing the property to your name by mentioning that since you only funded for the purchase of this property and also she was gifted with many things earlier by you, during the marriage, she would happily bequeath this proerty to your name since it belongs to you alone.

This Will would enable you to acquire the property under such circumstance by enforcing the will. .
