Re: Quit Claim Deeds
If in the grantee's name only, the grantee's interest passes as part of his/her estate through probate to his/her heirs, or in accordance with his/her will, if any.

Re: Quit Claim Deeds
Assuming the deed was properly recorded and the deed is only in the name of the grantee, the property passes to the estate of the grantee.

The grantee's interest in the real property becomes part of the grantee's estate. It does not revert back to the grantor.
