You can complete a quit claim deed giving all of your interest to your daughter. You will need to use your name as it is stated on your present deed and your daughter's legal name. You will need your tax id number and the legal description and to comnplete the auditor's disclosure form.

Careful! If you are disabled and receiving Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income, the transfer of the real estate might disqualify you from public benefits. Check with a local elder law attorney for further guidance to be sure that there's no problem, so you don't do something that you may regret for a long time.
