No the only one who can take a title holder out of title is the holder themselves. Once you grant an interest to a property to someone, only they can convey it back unless they have died.

Once a quit claim deed is signed, the transfer is completed and it can’t be voided. If you want to get back the property, it is extremely difficult to undo the deed unless the grantee agrees to sign it back to you.
Otherwise, to cancel a deed, you have to prove it invalid like you may have to prove that it was created under threats, or you signed it due to some lies by the grantee.
A lawyer needs to be hired to prove the transfer invalid, which can be expensive and there is no guarantee that you will be successful in it.
