As to the first question, I'd need to know a lot more of the circumstances. As to the second, no, if it's just a change in the form of ownership.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Who's interest are you trying to protect? One of the joint owners or a third person?

To "file" a quitclaim deed, you need to execute a deed transfering an interest in the property to another and then "record" it on the land records.
