Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

I own three acres of property and a double-wide mobile home with no liens, completely paid for. My daughter, her husband, and their children currently reside in the mobile home and on the property. How do I add my daughters name to the deed of the property and mobile home? And, if I do add her to the deeds of both property and mobile home, if a lender discovers monies still are owed, does it make both of us responsible, or only me? I want to make sure that any money owed (although there shouldn't be) is my responsibility, but that my daughter has share, privilege, power, and rights over the real estate and property.

Thank you for your advice.

First of all you need to be sure it is paid off. If that is a question, resolve that first.

A lawyer can easily draft documents to add a person to a deed. There are potential tax and other implications the lawyer can discuss with you.

You would deed the property from you to you and your daughter. While not complicated, you really should have a local attorney handle this for you.
