Your incarcerated brother can sign a quitclaim deed which relinquishes his entire right, title, and interest in the property. The quitclaim deed is signed in the presence of a notary (there are mobile notaries) who would have to go to the prison to have your brother sign. The quitclaim deed becomes effective upon being recorded (filed with the County Recorder's office).
