Re: what type of deed is needed?
The critical question is, How is the property titled according to the deed you have? If it is titled in both names, Joint with Right of Survivorship, then you would record her death certificate together with another quit claim deed titled with your preference. So it is hard to give you exact information without knowing the exact language of the deed. Feel free to contact me for further assistance.

Was the quit claim deed recorded? If not i suggest you do so. You will also need to record a certified copy of the death certificate.
You should consult with a competent atty to be sure that all legal requirements are met. That way you will have clear and marketable title.
