How old does a person have to be before I can add her name to the tittle of my house?

[amandatbe]

My daughter is 7 years old and perminatly disabled. we bought a house and it is to go to her when we die. I would like to add her name way before that. can I do that? How will it affect her SSI? we used none of her money to buy the house. will I have to prove that to SSI? Is there any way to set up the house in our will stating that her husband will never have a claim on it? we want it to go to her children. We were told since she can't have children and will have to adopt that the husband will have more of a claim, Is this true?

A: I don't know the extent of your daughter's disabilities. What you want to do is possible, but tricky. You must consult a real estate lawyer.
