Can you add a person onto the title of a property that is paid off?

I am married in a community property state and I own a rental property as my "Sole and Separate Property". I want to put a close relative on the title and have the property titled as "Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship", Can I do this without my husband having to sign off on the property, again??
