Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Andrew GrimmettTechnically you do not own the property because you did not record the deed - so my guess is you cannot write off any expenses on it since you don’t own it.You probably want to talk to an attorney about this - as also if something were to happen to your grandfather and there are other family members they could contest the quit claim deed - but this will have tax and legal consequences so you should seek those two specialists for this specific situation  I appreciate the advice.

Things are holding stable in the region and it continues to grow and appreciate in value.
