Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

Living Trust or Will
My grandmother recently passed away without a living trust or will. My grandfather who also has no will or trust is ailing tremendously and my mom is wondering which would be better for him a trust or will. She has 2 brothers and the only thing of value is the house which is not in good condition but her one brother and his family are living in it with my grandfather and my grandfather wants the house to go to them. Her other brother wants it sold and split 3 ways so if my grandfather doesn't get something in place stating his wishes now there will be trouble. We thought about a trust since he is ailing and cannot handle all his day to day bills. We have all pitched in to help with this. If we do the living trust can we do a quit claim deed to put it in trust? I would appreciate any advice.
Thank You

Re: Living Trust or Will

Never use a quit claim deed to property into trust. Probably the best thing for GF to do is to consult with an attorney.
