She can execute a quit claim giving you title....I would advise using a title company to insure that transfer as to avoid any issues in the future.
You can choose an escrow or title officer at any escrow/title company to get what assistance they can offer you. Normally there has to be a purchase of the property for them to provide full assistance. They could perhaps provide you with the necessary forms to be signed and you can file them with the county. You usually get a copy of the newly recorded title with your name on it in about two weeks. Definitely contact one, but you can also get assistance from a paralegal firm.
Before you do anything, you should contact a local real estate attorney and your CPA or a financial planner.. There could be tax consequences involved if you do not transfer the property correctly.. If you are hit with a huge tax bill, it could be devastating, so it's best you spend a few dollars now to avoid any tax issues...

If you keep it as a rental property and do not choose to make it your primary property you definitely want to find out what the tax consequences could be. An experienced escrow/title officer often has had experience to offer knowledge regarding that but then a CPA or real estate attorney could be the best choices for guidance. I have done many loans wherein someone was added to title and a refinance loan made and since it was their primary property there was no significant tax consequences to being added to the title.
