The ruling on gifting a property and retaining the right to live in it

Fatawa Question

Husband (H) and wife (W) have two daughters. H and W wanted security for their daughters and the following was therefore proposed. H and W gift the property to the daughters but reserve for themselves a right to live in the property for, say, twenty years or death of both H & W, whichever is earlier. On this basis H and W retain a right to live in the property but the daughters have ownership of the property. For Shariah purposes is the arrangement valid and is the gift to the daughters is complete ?
