Lumpkin County Quitclaim Deed (Two Grantors) Form

Two grantors sign this Georgia quitclaim deed, and each one releases that grantor's own right, title, and interest to a single named grantee. The form is built for exactly that configuration: two natural persons signing in their individual capacities, one grantee entry, and a complete, independent execution set for each signer, formatted for the clerk of superior court in the county where the property lies.

Two releases that stand on their own

Georgia treats a quitclaim release as operating on the signer's own interest, and the deed says so expressly: the First Grantor's release is effective whether or not the Second Grantor's is, and the reverse. That independence matters in the record patterns that bring two releasing owners to one instrument. Co-owners under Georgia's default tenancy in common (O.C.G.A. Section 44-6-120) each hold a separate undivided share, so consolidating the title in one name takes a release from each of them, and two family members passing fractional interests to one relative present the same shape. Where the two grantors instead hold as joint tenants with right of survivorship under O.C.G.A. Section 44-6-190, their joint execution of a single recorded conveyance moves the whole title together; the statute severs survivorship on a recorded lifetime transfer by one joint tenant unless all of them join in the same recorded transfer, and a deed both owners sign is exactly that joinder. The operative language remises, releases, and forever quitclaims, and because O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-61 implies no warranty in any Georgia deed, the deed adds an express no-warranty statement rather than leaving the point to silence. A quitclaim deed is also searched as a quit claim deed or non-warranty deed, and Georgia recognizes it without any prescribed statutory form (O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-33).

Six signatures before the deed is complete

A Georgia deed is attested, not merely notarized in the acknowledgment style used elsewhere. O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-30 requires each maker's signature to carry the attestation of an officer named in O.C.G.A. Section 44-2-15, most often a Georgia notary public, plus one additional witness, whom Georgia practice calls the unofficial witness. With two grantors that discipline doubles: the finished deed carries the two grantor signatures, two unofficial witness signatures, and two officer certificates, each captioned as an attestation and reciting the traditional Georgia certificate sentence about signing, sealing, and delivery in the officer's presence. The two execution sets are deliberately independent. Each grantor signs before that grantor's own officer and witness, so the two owners may execute on different dates, in different counties, or in different states, a practical point when co-owners live apart; the completed example shows one grantor signing in Gwinnett County and the other in Fulton County five days later.

One PT-61 and a flat recording fee

However many grantors sign, one PT-61 Real Estate Transfer Tax form accompanies the deed, completed through the GSCCCA eFiling system, and the clerk certifies payment of any tax due before the deed records (O.C.G.A. Section 48-6-4). Transfer tax is computed on the consideration or value above $100, net of liens that remain on the property, at $1.00 for the first $1,000 plus $0.10 for each additional $100 (O.C.G.A. Section 48-6-1); exempt transfers under O.C.G.A. Section 48-6-2, such as gifts and divisions among tenants in common without other consideration, state the exemption on the PT-61. Recording itself costs a flat $25.00 statewide (O.C.G.A. Section 15-6-77). A grantor or grantee filing without a Georgia attorney or other professional filer submits through the GSCCCA eFile portal with verified government-issued identification, the self-filer rule in force since January 1, 2025.

A first page arranged for the clerk

The top three inches of page one stay empty for the recording notation (O.C.G.A. Section 15-6-61(a)(10)), the return-to name and mailing address sit at the top of the first page as O.C.G.A. Section 44-2-14(b) directs, and a tax parcel line covers the DeKalb County first-page parcel rule. Numbered sections then collect both grantors, the grantee, the consideration, the county and legal description, the street address, and the prior recording reference before the conveyance section performs the double release in full prose.

The purchase delivers three items: the blank two-grantor quitclaim deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example filled in for a realistic Gwinnett County fact pattern, and a plain language guide covering every numbered section, the witness and attestation formalities for both signers, and the PT-61 and e-recording steps. The materials describe Georgia law generally and are not legal advice.
