Since you’ve already filled out the quitclaim deed, the next step is to have it properly executed and filed (Montana Code Annotated § 70-20-103). You’ll need to sign it in front of a notary public. Some counties also require witnesses.
After notarization, file it with the county recorder’s office. Fees vary, so check with them. Once filed, the deed becomes public record, and your son will no longer have a legal claim to the property title.
Keep in mind, a quitclaim deed only transfers ownership—it doesn’t remove debts like a mortgage. If there are obligations tied to the property, they remain with whoever is responsible for them.
If you're doing this without further legal review, make sure there are no outstanding issues that could come up later, especially if there’s a mortgage or lien involved.

Hello! My name is TJ, and I’m an attorney. Thanks so much for the opportunity to assist you! It sounds like you're in the middle of preparing your quitclaim deed and wondering about fees. Generally, there can be a charge for document prep or review, and possibly an additional fee for attorney guidance. These vary, so it’s good to confirm fees upfront. Have you already filled out the deed or just started it?
I filled it out.

Does removing him from title eliminate the risk that an action against him might affect our shared interest in this property?
TJ, Esq.
Removing your son from the title via quitclaim deed transfers ownership to just you, but it doesn't eliminate all risks. The deed doesn't remove liabilities tied to the property.
If your son has debts or is sued, and those claims are tied to his ownership stake at the time, it’s possible they could still affect the property. If there are no ongoing issues, removing him should prevent future claims on his former interest.
To be safe, verify that there are no remaining obligations that could affect you. A quitclaim deed ends his ownership, but not necessarily his financial ties to the property.
Thanks.
TJ, Esq.
You're very welcome! I'm happy I could help!
