Can I use a quit claim deed ...

i've been involved in an estate settlement for over a year now. the lawyer wants to wrap it up in order to close the estate. my sister & i are co-executors and we need to deed the house over out of our mothers name. my sister has been dragging her feet on trying to sell the property. i have control of all the liquid assests (money) from the estate because i was the lone beneficiary of annuities my mother had. all my sister received in the settlement was half of what the house would sell for. i have told my sister i would not divide the money up until the estate was closed and the house was sold. can i use a quit claim deed to wash my hands of the property mess signing over the property to her ? then could i take half of the amount of the appraised estate value of the property out of my sisters half of the money. is there another way to get out of all this, it has been stressful. thanks, * have i confused you ? ... sorry
