both my name and my mother's name were on the deed to the house. my mother has recently passed on so i want to remove her name from the deed. can i do this on the quit claim deed? who then is the grantor; my deceased mother? the quit claim form has listed: lienholder, grantor and grantee. who should be listed as lienholoder, grantor and grantee?

Hi judydennisi,
You cannot transfer a property through a quitclaim deed when the grantor is deceased. You need to submit your mother's death certificate at the county recorder's office and file an affidavit of heirship. This will help you in transferring the property in your name. However, if your mother has left a will, then the will should be probated first and then the property will be divided amongst the heirs named in her will.
Thanks
