That is a more complicated answer then you realize. It depends upon what specifically your goals are, and what you consider easiest. Part of the problem is that no matter which answer you pick there is an upside and a downside.

The alternatives include: Life estate deed, Lady Bird deed, Revocable Living Trust, Will, Joint Ownership, forming a corporation or LLC, just to name a few ideas.

You really need to see an attorney to figure out which is best for you.
