Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Connecticut

Transfer of deed to minor

I would like to transfer the title to my home to my grandson who is 16. I have medical issues and want to make sure that he has a home to live in should something happen to me. Can I put the house in his name? and how? Can I use a quit claims deed?
