Hi elwolfman!
Welcome to MortgageFit Forums!
Quitclaim deed is only a legal doc which will help a person to transfer his share of interest in a property to another individual. However, you should remember that only the interest is transferred and no warranty is made on the rights of the grantor.
You should always sign a warranty deed to be on the safer side. The warranty deed ensures that the property is transferred with clear title and it is also free from any kind of lien.
Coming to your next question, if someone on the quitclaim deed has died, then you need to file an Affidavit of Heirship at the County Recorder's Office so that property is transferred in your name and the name of the deceased person is removed from the title.
