Questions answered? Let's get started!
Whatever the grantor owns on the day of delivery is what a Georgia quitclaim deed carries, and Georgia stops the instrument there. O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-44 binds the maker of a deed against a title acquired afterward, but the decisions construing that Code section place a conveyance limited to such right, title, and interest as the grantor holds outside the rule: Morrison v. Whiteside and Taylor v. Wainman in 1902, and Federal Land Bank v. Bank of Lenox in 1941. An interest the signer picks up next year stays with the signer.
A release measured at delivery
That boundary is the character of the instrument, not a technicality in it. The operative sentence remises, releases, and forever quitclaims all right, title, interest, claim, and demand of the grantor, and the habendum runs to the grantee and to the heirs, successors, and assigns of the grantee. Since O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-61 reads no warranty into any Georgia conveyance, the deed announces in capital letters that it carries none, and what stands of record stays of record: security deeds, judgment and tax liens, easements, and restrictive covenants all survive the transfer. No legislative template governs the drafting either, because O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-33 makes no prescribed form essential to a deed of lands, which is why the same instrument is indexed as a quit claim deed and described as a non-warranty deed.
Blanks that count to two on either side
This is the base configuration of the Georgia quitclaim line. Section 1 receives one or two natural persons signing in their own capacity and Section 3 receives one or two grantees, both as open blanks: no status wording, ownership form, or capacity language is preprinted anywhere on the instrument, so the entries carry the names as record title carries them. The execution page follows the same count, with a GRANTOR block and a SECOND GRANTOR (if applicable) block, an unofficial witness line under each, and a separate officer certificate for each signature; a deed from one grantor leaves the second set unused. Where two grantees take together, the words after their names decide the ownership form: O.C.G.A. Section 44-6-120 leaves two names holding as tenants in common when the deed says nothing more, while the express survivorship wording of O.C.G.A. Section 44-6-190 creates a survivorship estate instead. Four configurations sit outside this form: an entity grantor executing through an officer, a fiduciary conveying in a representative capacity, an agent signing the owner's name under a power of attorney, and three or more owners on one side.
Attested rather than acknowledged
Georgia signs deeds in a pattern that surprises anyone arriving from a plain notarial state. Under O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-30 the maker signs, an officer from the O.C.G.A. Section 44-2-15 list attests the signature, and one more person attests it too, the signer Georgia practice calls the unofficial witness. The certificate here is captioned ATTESTATION for that reason, and O.C.G.A. Section 44-14-33 states the principle: where the officer attests, a formal certificate of acknowledgment is not necessary. Each grantor block carries its own certificate, so one signature never waits on the other.
Twenty-five dollars, a PT-61, and a first page built for the clerk
Filing goes to the clerk of superior court of the county holding the land (O.C.G.A. Section 44-2-1) at a flat twenty-five dollar fee, whatever the page count (O.C.G.A. Section 15-6-77(f)). A PT-61 real estate transfer tax filing travels with the deed through the state clerks' authority system, and the clerk certifies the tax before recording (O.C.G.A. Section 48-6-4). Tax accrues above one hundred dollars of consideration or value (O.C.G.A. Section 48-6-1), which on the twenty-seven thousand dollars recited in the completed Clarke County example produces twenty-seven dollars. Anyone filing without a Georgia attorney, title agent, or other listed professional files electronically as a self-filer with verified government identification, the rule in force since January 1, 2025. The instrument opens below three clear inches for the recording notation, then the return-to name and address that O.C.G.A. Section 44-2-14(b) puts at the top of a Georgia deed, then a tax parcel line answering DeKalb County's local requirement.
Three files come with the purchase: the fillable deed, the Clarke County example filled at full capacity with two grantors releasing to two grantees, and a plain language guide that takes the sections in order and then treats the ownership forms Georgia recognizes, the attestation rules, and the trip to the counter. The materials explain Georgia law generally and are not legal advice.

It was nice to find a form to use for leaving my house without having my kids deal with Probate Court. The price was a lot cheaper than paying for a Lawyer to set up a transfer of ownership.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

Great Job guys! I would not even have thought to look for this service. The county recorder's office and kiosks are all closed because of covid. I was directed to you because of a referral on the county site. I wish I had known you had forms available as well. I searched for a day to find the appropriate form.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!

The purchasing process was very slick and my credit card was charged IMMEDIATELY. The deliver went well as the link was provided immediately. However I asked a question via the "Contact Us" link and days later I get a survey but no reply. I may have been directed to the wrong forms via my County and I wanted to confirm that...but still no answer. What would that deserve as a rating???
Also, your history on our site shows no messages sent via our contact us page.

Wasn’t what I expected
Sorry to hear that your expectations were missed. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your expectations elsewhere. Do keep in mind that purchasing legal forms should not be an exploratory endeavor.
