Re: Quick Claim Deed
If the Grantor died owning the property, then an estate needs to be opened with the Probate Court, who will then issue a Certificate of Transfer to be filed with the County Recorder. However, if the property is currently deeded joint and survivor, an affidavit of survivorship must be filed with the County Recorder by the survivor.

Re: Quick Claim Deed
If the person died owning the property then you will probably have to open an estate in the Cuyahoga County Probate Court. One might check to see how the property is owned as if it is joint and survivor, then you will not need an estate. A quit claim deed is only used if the grantor is alive.
