I'm not particularly savvy on these sorts of things, but the deed was notorized and for as far as I am told, was done correctly. Now I have been urged to go claim this property, but I never thought to ask for a copy of this quitclaim. I was given the name and number of the lawyer who she did this through and I have the address of the property, but I don't know where I should go to see about this. I do not have the actual quitclaim deed in my possession and never have, I simply was shown it years ago and went about my business for the past ten years. Do I need to obtain it somehow? How would I go about this? What is the process? Is there an urgent time limit on which I should be operating in order to gain the property? It has been less than a year, but several months since her passing - I really don't know where to start.

You need to contact that county recorder's office and get a duplicate copy of the deed. Once you get the copy of the deed, you will be able to claim the property. Thanks

It's all paid up but I'm unable to maintain all the excess work & expenses needed on it. What is the easiest, least economical, legal way to do this?

As the property is free and clear, you can use a warranty deed to transfer the property to your brother. It is a legal a document transferring property from one person to another. It would be better if you could take the help of an attorney to draft the deed. Feel free to ask if you've further queries. Sussane
