<b>For better or worse, what I've used to distribute real property

from a Quitclaim Deed by specifying its Grantor to be the PR of an
estate etc. I've used my PR's Deed form for years, & so far,
have not had any problem with it unless I somehow screw up its
legal description or make some other dumb mistake like that, such
as misspelling a party's name, Oh, my!</b><br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Dear listmates,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there any problem with using a quit
claim deed to transfer decedent’s portion of real estate to
the surviving spouse instead of a PR deed? The will instructs
that the PR (surviving spouse) divide the community property
into two equal portions, one half will be survivor’s property
and the decedent’s half will be put into a trust. The will
gives the PR full discretion in dividing the property. One
half of the property has already been placed into the trust,
so I want to transfer the remaining real estate to the
survivor. It seems like the description of the will provisions
that would be included in a PR deed would be overly
complicated and it would be better to use a quit claim deed.
Because the survivor wants the property to go into the trust
to avoid an ancillary probate, I am then planning to file a
transfer on death deed for the entire property. Does anyone
see any issues with this plan or have advice on how to
proceed? Thank you in advance for your input.<o:p></o:p></p>
