Absolutely not. If the judgment was incurred during your ownership, then it follows the property even if you transfer it to another.

If the property is your homestead, it might not attach to the premises.

Another thought, if anyone found out your intent was to defraud the creditior, you may have criminal implications.

I strongly suggest you consult with a qualified real estate attorney to investigate your legal options.
