After a quit claim, shouldn't the person's name, who quit claim deeded the property away, be removed from the property title? What happens if both names are still on the title and the one to whom the property was quit claim deeded to dies?
Thank you.

Hi Carmen!

Welcome to forums!

It is not mandatory to remove the grantor's name from the property deed. Both the grantor and the grantee can remain as joint owners of the property. In such a situation, both their names will be mentioned in the property deed. In case, one of the owners is deceased, then the other one can file an affidavit of heirship and get the property transferred in his/her name.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Some clarification is needed here. Was the deed recorded? Was it prepared correctly? Who says both parties are still in title?

If two people were legally in title did they hold title as joint tenants? If not property would pass according to the Will of the deceased or, if no Will, per state law
