More details to this question:
My father-in-law's cousin died without a will. Being the closest reletive he thought the house and two other properties would pass to him. When we went to claim the property a friend/caretaker was living in the house. He had a quit claim deed signing all three properties over to him.

Yes, a valid quit claim deed transfers the property to someone else, so that the grantor's estate does not include the property and the property cannot be passed to the heirs of the grantor.
