Yes, you can.  A party can do what ever he or she likes with the property that they own.  The deed is subject to the right you have to trasnfer the property, meaning you can not transfer a portion that you do not own.  The expense would be that you would need to have a new deed prepared and filed.  It sounds as if you may be doing a little estate planning which is really great but I might consider consulting an attorney to make sure it is all legal under the laws in your state.  Good luck.
