The document you are referring to is a "quitclaim" deed; there is no such thing as a "quickclaim" deed. In order to have the authority to sell the house of someone who is deceased, there needs to be an administrator of your father's estate appointed in a probate proceeding. This requires the filing of a probate case in order to obtain the right to administer the property and transfer it to other individuals that inherit from the estate.
