Can A Minor Legally Have Property In Their Name With An Adult?

[RLLOYD8108]

WE LIVE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. MY STEP FATHER WANTS TO TRANSFER HIS PROPERTY TO MY TWO CHILDREN (HIS GRANDCHILDREN). MY DAUGHTER IS ALMOST 19 YEARS OLD AND MY SON IS 16 YEARS OLD. MY QUESTION IS CAN MY SON LEGALLY HAVE HIS NAME ON THE PROPERTY EVEN THOUGH HE IS ONLY 16 YEARS OLD? IF NOT HOW CAN HIS INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY BE PROTECTED UNTIL HE TURNS 18 YEARS OF AGE. MY FATHER WANTS THE TWO GRANDCHILDREN TO HAVE EQUAL INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY. HE IS DOING THIS BEFORE HE PASSES AWAY. HE IS NOT IN GOOD HEALTH AND WANTS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS BEFORE HE PASSES AWAY. CAN WE TRANSFER THE PROPERTY FROM MY FATHER TO THE CHILDREN WITH A QUITCLAIM DEED?
