You could, but how will you know if the form you found on the internet accurate for your particular needs? You need to hire an attorney to draft the quit claim deed that addresses your particular needs. Call me at 312-372-5600 to discuss further.

If this is being probated there is a completely different procedure. Otherwise I agree w/ Ms. Dockery AND please note that today a deed is only one of SEVERAL forms that will be needed to transfer title: assuming this is for $0.00, then there are real estate transfer tax EXEMPTION forms and documents, and a "grantor-grantee" statement. Depending on what else is involved, other forms may be required.
