Re: Quitclaim deed
No. You will need to file a simple (assuming this is the only significant asset in his estate) probate case with the Court. Assuming you are the only beneficiary, it should be a very quick and simple process. At the end of it, the Court will give you an Order that will permit you to legally change the deed to your name. You can get the forms from the Court. If you want some help, contact an attorney who does probate work. Do not simply do it - it will create problems for you that will be costly to straighten out in the future. Feel free to contact me if you have more questions.
