I have an LLC with my daughter. We now own 5 unit apartments on 5 acres of land. Do I need to sell the property to the LLC to protect it from law suits etc.?

You need to transfer title to the LLC. If you need help with this, let me know.
Re: real estate in a llc
The first thing you should do to protect yourself is to get a good amount of liability insurance protection. That should be your first line of defense. Then, you can transfer the properties to the llc. If it is more than 1 property, you may wish to use more than 1 llc - to isolate each one. I would note that this is a step to help shield yourself from liability. This does not mean that under all circumstances this WILL protect you. There may be certain circumstances where you would have personal liability.
