I found a couple of sites which stated in order for a QCD to control, it must be "delivered" aka "recorded" prior to the death of the property owner. Exception would be if the Will provided for recording after death. One reputable site advised of a common scam by which a QCD is signed by the grantor and grantees and notary but not attempted to be recorded until after the grantor dies. Exactly my situation/question. The site says, nope, can't do it. Not legal.
