Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

help on quit claim deed

My wife and I are married for 8 years. Just 3 years ago she decided to separate from me and that she will divorce me later on. Now she's doing great on her current job and plans to buy a property. She asks me to sign a quit claim deed, explaining simply to me that I authorize her to be the sole owner of the property. We both live a different life now and I really don't care whatever she wants to buy. In other words, I'm not interested in all her riches. I'm a simple person living a simple life. Our daughter, 6 years old, lives with her and she earns 4x more than me. Questions are - Do I need to sign the deed? and What should I look out for before signing it?

The signing will take place by the end of this month.

Please advise.
