Law of Property(Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1989- s1(2) An instrument shall not be a deed unless- (a) it makes clear on its face that it is intended to be a deed by the person making it.... (b) it is validly executed as a deed by a person.... section1(3) An instrument is validly executed as a deed by a n individual if, and only if,- (a) it is signed- (i) by him in the presence of a witness who attests the signature or (ii) at his direction and in his presence and the presence of two witnesses who each attest the signature. (b) it is delivered as a deed by him or a person authorised to do so on his behalf. In proper English that basically means go to a solicitors with and make sure that someone witnesses that you intend to make a deed for your daughter and that someone witnesses it and approves you're signature. In short as norfolk boy says go to a solicitors with a bit of cash.

btw is this a "cheat the taxman of inheritance tax" idea? sorry to disappoint you but the taxman will get his money (the theiving b*****ds) as this loophole doesn't work anymore. just thought i'd mention it.

do you, and have you always lived in the house, because if not there could be capital gains tax implications as well as inheritance tax.
