Can you buy a house for someone who is in prison?

[Tammy Barrand]

My daughter is going to be doing 20 years in prison state of Indiana she wants me to buy a house for her and her name so she has somewhere to go when she gets out because by the time she gets out I'll be gone any thoughts any recommendations anyting the state of Indiana is greatly appreciated does anyone know her credit is better than mine so I'm not sure how to do this

It may be better to set up an investment account, put some money in it, and hopefully in 20 years it will have grown enough where she will be able to afford a downpayment, or a house outright.
