<p>You'll just need to talk to a title company about the specifics.
A number of different factors, (e.g. who paid any last medical
expenses), can make a difference on whether they will allow a
declaration in lieu of probate. I found this Powerpoint
presentation from 2012 a couple of months ago--I believe it's
probably still fairly accurate.</p>

<p>I'm not really sure of your facts, but I believe for this
determination to have any lasting effect you're going to have to
insure the deed from the estate. Otherwise the grantee kid will
need to go through the process when they sell/encumber, and my
guess is it's probably better to do it now, unless maybe the
passage of time would help.<br>
