I want the deed to the house to be soley in my name and my brother is willing to delete his name from the deed. Do I need to complete a PT61 form? I don't beleive I do as there is no Real Estate Transfer Tax associated with deleting him, right? Would I only need to complete a Quit Claim Deed?

When you record the deed, you will be required to pay certain taxes like the recording fees etc. However, if your brother quitclaims it to you as a gift, he can avail certain gift tax exemptions.
