Get the car registered in her name as soon as she is 18. You do not need
the liability for her driving.
I also have the insurance and all in my kids' name. All insurance
payments
come from the kid and I reimburse the kid. I do not want my name anywhere
if there is a lawsuit.
I live in California, btw.
Had one kid crash when car was still registered to me. You haven't lived
until you are on the dirty end of a lawsuit.
