Use a grant deed. Most states require it to be notarized and delivered. Also record a copy with your local county recorder's office.
Hi Shawn,
Welcome to the forum.
I agree with jheard that you can use a grant deed. But I think you can even use a quitclaim deed here because the transfer is occurring within the family. And yes the deed needs to be notarized and recorded in the County Recorder office to make it valid.
To know more about quitclaim deed, you can check this article out - http://www.mortgagefit.com/quitclaim-deed.html
Hope this will help you to take the decision.
Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
Thanks.
