Are there any recurring fees involved?

No. Nothing to cancel, no memberships, no recurring fees.

Commonly, when people create their wills, they identify one or more individuals to supervise the distribution of their assets. The person who fills this role is called an executor. An executor uses an assent to devise to transfer real property from the decedent's estate to beneficiaries named in the decedent's will.

Under Georgia law, "title to property in the estate does not pass to the heirs or beneficiaries until the personal representative assents thereto" (OCGA 53-8-15).

Record the completed assent to devise, along with any necessary supporting documents, with the real property records of the appropriate county. This shows that the executor assents to the passing of title from the decedent to the beneficiary.

Consult an attorney with questions about the assent to devise form, or with any other issues related to probate in Georgia.

Pleased with the results, except for the "notice of confidentiality rights" above the QUIT CLAIM DEED headline. Is it needed to be included on the form or can it be removed ? How can it be removed, I do not see a reason for it to be on the print out copy. Thank you.

So far so good. Looks nice but a more condensed version, when the recorder charges by the page, should be offered.

The forms were immediately available for download, which was nice. However, I was not impressed by the lack of several features: 1) there was no way to edit set text in the form, such as where it says you should consult an attorney. That is not necessary for recording the deed and I wanted to deleted it, but could not. 2) Also, under the "Notes" section, there is a limited area to write; I tried adding a fuller explanation of something, but the form would not accept or include it when I printed the final document. The form may do the job, but it's not very sophisticated or elegant.
