Conway, AR asked in Estate Planning, Real Estate Law and Probate for Arkansas

Q: Can a Grantor on a quitclaim deed also be the Grantee?

My father died without a will and my Sister and I are the only heirs. We have filed for collection of small estate and our 90 days are up. One of the properties is still in my great aunt and her partner's name and has passed through a couple of family members that were ill and was never deeded in their names. I have all of the necessary documentation but I am not sure what kind of deed I need to fill out and where I have to file it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
