my mother owned her little house outright, and left it in a handwritten will to her 5 children. i lived withher and was her caretaker before her death, and still live in home. my siblings want to give ownership of home to me, want me to be sole owner and be legally responsible for all taxes etc. how do we relinquish their claim? will a quit claim deed work? will i have to send the original paper form to each one for signatures and notarization, or can each complete a separate form? how do i submit or file completed forms to become sole owner of record? right now it is in "estate of ...." my mother's name.

Hi LeeEllen,
Welcome to the forums.
A quitclaim deed would work towards relinquishing claims. Instead of sending each form to all, I think it should be done in a single form. May be if possible you all can get together and then have the form signed by all siblings and if required by your state, then as grantee you too should sign.
Take help of an attorney while you get the form drafted and get it signed by a notary before you file it. And, don't delay in filing the deed becauyse there is a time limit within which if you don't file, the deed won't become effective.
In case you wish to know more on quitclaim deed, please refer to the section on this topic.

Hi Lee.
Welcome to the forum.
As you have said " Right now it is in "Estate of ...." my mother's name." so you need to probate the Will first. Then the other co-owners can quitclaim to you.
You should take an attorney's help.
Best of luck,
Larry
