That approach may not work.  It may also disqualify you for Medicaid.  Talk with a local elder lawyer.  You can find one near you on the website of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org).

While credit card companies in particular often forego interest and late fees after the date of death, there is no law requiring a creditor to do this.  In addition, it is likely that the agreement which your father signed with the storage facility allows it to seize his goods for nonpayment.  Get your Letters Testamentary and take them over with a check for the full amount to access and remove the stored items. ...

If she is a US citizen there are no tax implications. You would need a lawyer to draft a deed adding her to the title. Then you would record it in the Town Clerk's office of the town the property is located.
