Laws vary based on the jurisdiction. In most, the spouse has to sign their rights in the property away. This prevents them from clouding title to the property later on.

The estate deeds it to the heir.

How is property title transferred after probate is closed?

If the probate process has been completed and title is in the heirs they can execute a deed to a straw and then the straw can convey the property back to the heirs by deed and the heirs will become the record owners of the property. However, that process isn't necessary except in cases where the heirs desire to have a deed in their own names. If the heirs want to sell to a third party they can execute a deed of their interest and cite the probate as their source of title. You should consult with the attorney who handled the estate who can review your situation and your needs and explain your options.

My grandmother recently passed away. I am trying to do a quitclaim deed for the property that she left behind. She did not have a will but she had always said that the property would be mine?

You cannot "do a deed" since you do not own the property. Her estate must be probated in order for title to the property to pass to her heirs legally. Since she didn't leave a will her estate will be distributed to all her heirs at law according to your state laws of intestacy. You can check your state at the related question link. You should consult an attorney who specializes in probate or at least visit the probate court.You cannot "do a deed" since you do not own the property.
