Please accept my condolences on the loss of your brother. As for your question, I am sorry, but I have no real idea what you are asking.   You would not normally execute a quit claim deed on behalf of a deceased person. The representative of the deceased person's estate would need to execute anything that deals with the deceased person's interest in the property. If it is you who would be executing a deed for some reason, and if the property that the deed relates to is located in Michigan, then the deed would need to comply with Michigan law and be recorded in Michigan, but you generally should be able to actually SIGN it in Georgia, if Georgia is where you live and where the deed is being sent to you. But please note: I strongly advise you to consult a Michigan attorney who works with real estate titles to determine the best way to handle any deeds that relate to Michigan real estate. Do not rely on information on the internet for that. Messing up the title to real estate can be an expensive mistake to fix.
