Welcome crhancock,
If your name is not mentioned on the property deed, then you don't have to quitclaim the property. However, if you've life estate rights on that property, then you can stay in the property until death. If the daughters are forcing you to sign the deed, then it will be considered as illegal. You should contact a real estate attorney and take his opinion in this matter.
