That is a question a lawyer will answer after reviewing many more facts about the real estate, your debts, and many other relevant issues.

Probably not. You can even take it a step further and go ahead and deed the property to yourself and your child "as joint tenants with rights of survivorship". That way, the property goes immediately to your child upon your death and there may be no need to administer the estate. However, I would advise you to consult with a local attorney to review your whole situation and advise if this is a good plan.
