A quitclaim deed will release your grandma's entire right, title, and interest in the property to you. The quitclaim deed is signed in the presence of a notary. You could have a mobile notary come to the nursing home. After the quitclaim deed is signed in the presence of a notary, it becomes effective upon being recorded (filed with the County Recorder's office).
The fees should be nominal for the notary and for filing the quitclaim deed with the County Recorder.
You can find sample quitclaim deed language online or at the law library. Ask the law librarian to help you locate it.
