A quitclaim deed can accomplish this. However, while you can find a form online for doing a quitclaim deed yourself, the relatively low cost to prepare a deed through an attorney makes it a better choice since there is the risk of mistakes with a self-prepared deed.

A quitclaim deed will relinquish your entire right, title, and interest in the property to your son. The quitclaim deed must be signed in the presence of a notary. The quitclaim deed becomes effective upon being recorded (filed with the County Recorder's office).
