Can I quit claim a deed if I have a judgement against me?

It would be best to take care of the debt. Do not transfer the house to your daughter. Unless she pays fair market value it is called a fraudulent conveyance.

You may generally transact business as long as it is for far value. You, however, have issues with the judgment creditor and a quit claim to you daughter to avoid the creditor is fraudulent and can be reversed, and may cause both of you future problems. You need to consult an attorney now. What you are planning could cause more problems than it is intended to solve.

The issue is not whether or not you have a judgment against you, the issue is whether or not the creditor used that judgment to obtain a lien against the home. If so, then you can still transfer the property, but the lien must be paid at the time of closing/transfer. Just because the creditor has a judgment against you does not divest of the right to sell and transfer property. A money judgment is just a court order saying that you owe someone a certain amount of money. They still have to collect on the judgment using whatever legal means exist; i.e., liens, garnishment, seizures, etc. However, if the transfer of the property is done to avoid creditors, the transfer could be reversed under the Fraudulent Transfers Act.

The judgment is good for 8 years from the date on entry and expires unless renewed prior to the expiration of 8 yrs. You may just want to sit tight until the time period runs. You can file a homestead exemption against the property but it doesn't protect you since there is ample equity to pay the judgment.
