I suggets that if you want your daughter to have an interest in the unit you are writing about that you create a trust, place the home in the trust and name your daughter as a beneficiary under the trust where you or some third person is the trustee.
Such would help avoid any issues if a judgment is obtained against your daughter where the home would not be able to be levied upon. I suggest that you consult with a Wills and trust attorney about your matter.
