The simple answer is yes, you can. The smart answer is absolutely Not!

If you transfer the property to a minor, you will be unable to mortgage, sell or otherwise transer the property until she reaches the age of majority without having a guardian formally appointed by the court which is a very costly procedure.

I do not know what your goal is, but I am sure that there are better ways to acheive the same result without doing something as foolish as this. I stronly suggest that you consult a competent real estate attorney in your area to review this situation.
