It is paid in full. If I die owing credit card debt, can they come after my daughter for what I owe? Can they put a judgment against the house? Should I quit claim it to her so my name will not be on the house? Would it be considered a gift as far as the IRS is concerned and would she have to pay taxes on it?

If you transfer the property solely to your daughter, then the credit card company won't be able to put a lien against your property. If you transfer the property without any exchange of money, then it will be considered as a gift and you may be liable for paying taxes on it. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial success
