Yes, he can quitclaim his 1/3 undivided interest to you. You’d then co-own the land with his two brothers. Their percentage share will remain the same.
A quitclaim must be signed with witnesses or before a notary, depending on your state's requirements. Then, file it with the county or city recorder's office. You'll need the full name and mailing address of both the grantor and grantee and a legal description, or the "deed book and page numbers," which can be found at the county or city recorder's office.

My dad is a one-third owner of a parcel of land with his two brothers. Can we just do a quitclaim to me for his portion of the land?
I understand your situation. Have you discussed this potential transfer with your dad and his brothers?
My dad and one brother, yes. We do not speak with the other brother.
Are there any existing agreements or restrictions in place regarding the transfer of ownership for the parcel of land?
None that we are aware of.
Is there anything else the real estate lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with transferring ownership of the land.
Nothing that I know of.

My father and two of his brothers are co-owners of a parcel of land. Can my father simply do a quitclaim deed to transfer ownership in his portion to me?

I have a quitclaim deed filled out from eForms. Both my dad and I have to sign it with a notary, correct? Then how do I file it?
Correct. You need to file it in the county deed records office for recording. They’ll mail it back to you once it’s been officially recorded.
Thank you.
I hope I was able to help resolve your issue! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. Thanks again, and have a great day.
