I studied my family tree and found that I was left a pieces of property. How do you fill out a quitclaim deed if the person is deseased?

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear about my question. I was left a certified land patent.
Anyway you all have been great.
Thank you for the supportive answers.

You do not. How was it left to you, by will or just that everyone else is dead? This is a lot more difficult to fix if you do not have a will stating you are the beneficiary of the land. You need to consult an Atty.
And adding several generations or even one to the equation makes it a nightmare.

You don't. A Quit Claim Deed states that any interest the grantor(s) (person(s) signing the document) has in the property is being deeded to the grantee(s). If you were left pieces of property - maybe by a beneficiary deed? - you need to have the property searched to chain the title - who owns the rest of the property? Are there defects in the title?
If you are asking if a deceased person can deed you the rest of the property, and that person did not file a beneficiary deed, and marital rights do not apply, then it has to go to probate. A dead person can't sign a deed. And a deed previously signed by someone who is now deceased, but not already filed of record, should be not filed after his/her death.
I don't know if this answers your question...it's not really a very clear question...sorry.

You will need to go through the court and probate system to make any claims for property you feel was bequeathed to you. Absent a written will of any sort, the death intestate laws of your state will reign supreme.
A quit claim deed cannot be signed by anyone other than the person who has a valid legal deed to the property in question.

I do not understand quite what it is that you want to do.
Do you really want to quitclaim this property to someone else?
Probably not.
What you want to do is get the title to this property in your name, isn't that right?
You do not want to quitclaim this property whatever you do.
I recommend that you contact an atorney who specializes both in wills, trusts and estates and real estate law.
Show your the attorney your copy of the will and any other paperwork that you may have.
Your attorney will help you get the title to the property in your name.

Go to a probate Attorney.

I believe you will have to go through the courts and then through probate if there wasn't a will.
