Since you have not paid off your mortgage, the property is probably not in your name. You could quitclaim deed it to her, but if you are doing it to avoid debt collectors, it could be invalid as a transfer. More importantly, your mortgage may not allow such a transfer. Read the mortgage carefully or better yet, consult with an attorney.
