How to use a Quit Claim Deed
In settling my mother's estate, I need to divide property between my sisters and myself. The deed to the property is clear. Can I issue a Quit Claim Deed from the estate to each of my sisters for their share of the property (1 lot)? Do I need to do anything else other than file the deed with the county? Thanks for your help?

Re: How to use a Quit Claim Deed
I have just received your post regarding your mother's real estate. Yes, as the personal representative of the estate all you need to do is to record a deed showing that the estate is transfering undivided one third or one fourth interests to each of you.

Re: How to use a Quit Claim Deed
Yes, you need to deed the property to your sisters. They each receive an undivided fractional interest of the whole. You do not use a quit claim deed. The proper conveyance is a fiduciary deed, which is a special type of warranty deed.
