My parents have a will, they both passed. Now I am the only living heir, the will did state the land was to be given to me. I never did anything because, well never had a reason to prbate the will. Can I do a Quick Deed, Warranty Deed,, andything to have the land given to my son?

It is not a good idea to post your question on another thread. To avoid confusion your post has been moved to its own thread.
To transfer title to a property you first have to put it in your name since you are the heir. Then you can transfer it to your son. Normally probate is required to make the transfer. But if your parents passed long enough ago, you might be able to just have a quit (not quick) claim deed issued. I would consult a local real estate attorney or title company to make the transfer for you.

It would be a QUIT claim deed, not "quck" claim.
But the answer would depend upon the law of wherever the land is located. In general, you would have to go through probate to get the title transferred to you, and then you could convery it to your son. I don't think so, but check with a title company to see if they will insure your son's title, in the event you attempt to cut corners in this fashion.
