Quick Claim DEED
Hi I have a question - Where would a person go to file a Quick Claim DEED?? My mother passed away and told me that me that my name was on her vacant home that was willed to her by my grandfather. The property was distributed by my grandfather's Personal Representative (which was my uncle) in order to transfer the property to my mother. At that time would she have signed for or go some place to file for the Quick Claim DEED to transfer it in my name. I believe that my stepfather is holding the will back from me if she had one. So I don't what to do. I'm getting ready to probate her will, I did a Title Search, but it still came back in her name only. Where would she have completed this Quick Claim Deed??? HELP!!!!

This is really a question for the lawyers out there, Taxjunkie? but I'll do my best.
First, you're looking for a quit claim deed (that's a common mistake). Second, some states have different ways to transfer ownership, check in your area. Finally, if you've already had a title search performed (this is worth hiring out, unless you are experienced at it) and you didn't find your name, chances are that if your mother did sign a quit claim, it was never filed.

Check out the County Recorder where the property is located. Many counties have web search capabilities and you may be able to search title to the property online.
If your mother died owning the property and did not leave a will or trust her interest in it will pass pursuant to the intestate succession laws of her state of residency at the time of her death.
Good luck
Go down to the recorders office and follow the chain of title.
You say that you have a title policy. If your name didn't show up (I'm assuming it was done by a tilte company).There's a very high probability that your mother did not record or never did prepare a quit claim deed you. The heck of it is that even if one exists but hasn't been conveyed it's no longer valid once your mother passed away.
