A: We really cannot give specific legal advice in a forum like this. There are too many possible variables to provide a 'definitive' answer.

You need to consult with a local real estate / probate attorney to insure things are handled properly. Don't be 'penny wise and pound foolish' about this -- having an attorney prepare a deed is both inexpensive in the grand scheme of things and will avoid issues later on. I can't begin to count the number of 'errors' or issues I've spotted when doing deeds. Don't sell yourself short by refusing to hire a good local attorney!
