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.

The process sure was easy and fast. Not sure why a rep would question why I am requesting an exhibit page on the Deed when that's a common practice here in AZ. They recorded it the way I sent it so all good.

The affidavit guidance was a great help and helped reduce the stress that usually comes with dealing with legalese. The Preliminary Change of Ownership that CA requires is quite complex since it covers a hoard of situations. I was left with a bit of uncertainty, but I definitely wouldn't want to try it without guidance.

Excellent full set of documents with example and guidelines on how to do it ourselves without paying a lawyer. Or, we save legal fees by completing it ourselves and having a lawyer review it. Love that I can save the pdf and fill it out whenever I want. Thank you for having this available!
