You can in theory but it's complicated. In terms of property it's actually simpler for the family member to get mortgaged for the house (if they can get one) and buy it officially in a private sale at rock bottom price from you, and then erm... get creative... with offloading the cash assets gained from the sale. Buying and gifting other expensive assets, for example.

Essentially no one will ask questions about a property if it has been SOLD, but they will consider it a deliberate "dodging tactic" if it's signed over without a sale.
