Giving the home to your daughter is legal.

You can transfer ownership of the home to your daughter with a quitclaim deed.

A quitclaim deed releases your entire right, title, and interest in the property.  The quitclaim deed needs to be signed in the presence of a notary.  

After the quitclaim deed has been signed in the presence of a notary, it needs to be filed with the County Recorder's Office.  The quitclaim deed is effective upon being filed with the County Recorder.
