my 84 year old grandfather does not have a will and is the sole owner of 5 lots in a row. my husband and i live in a home that is on two of those lots. my grandfather has finally agreed to give us the two lots that we live on. we will be filing a quit claim deed for the transfer. i am still worried about the other 3 lots. this land has been in our family for 60 years and i want it to remain that way. it seems no matter what i tell him he believes that since my mother is his only daughter that she will just inherit everything. (he has other assets such as cd's)
my questions are:
is the quit claim the best way to go for the property to be transferred and will there be any costs involved? (we are in florida)
what will happen to the properties when my grandfather passes away? how should i explain this to him?
(i am very confused about probate!)

Welcome Guest,
A quit claim deed can be used to transfer the property to you or your mother. While your grandfather and you file the deed, you would be responsible for deed recording fees, property transfer fees, attorney fees, stamp doc fees, etc.
After your grandfather passes away, your mother can file an affidavit of heirship at the county recorder's office and get the property transferred in her name.
