Questions answered? Let's get started!
A Georgia quitclaim deed signed by one individual releases whatever right, title, and interest that person holds in the property, with no warranty of title. This form prepares that deed for a single grantor, a natural person signing in an individual capacity, formatted for recording with the clerk of superior court in any Georgia county.
A release of interest, not a promise of title
Georgia law implies no warranty of title in any deed (O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-61), and a quitclaim deed, sometimes written as quit claim deed and also called a non-warranty deed, states none. The operative language remises, releases, and forever quitclaims the grantor's right, title, and interest, so the grantee receives exactly what the grantor holds at delivery, if anything, subject to whatever mortgages, security deeds, and liens already attach. That structure is why the instrument appears so often between parties who already know each other and the title: a former spouse releasing an interest after a divorce, a parent making a family gift transfer, an owner moving a home into a revocable living trust, or a signer releasing a possible interest so a title question closes. Georgia prescribes no statutory deed form (O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-33), so the deed's own release language, habendum, and express no-warranty statement do the legal work.
One grantor, three signatures on the execution page
The form recites exactly one grantor and carries one grantor signature block. Georgia surrounds that single signature with a distinctive execution pattern: under O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-30, a recordable deed is attested by an officer listed in O.C.G.A. Section 44-2-15, ordinarily a Georgia notary public, and by one other witness, called the unofficial witness. The form carries a labeled unofficial witness block and an officer certificate captioned as an attestation, with the traditional operative sentence, signed, sealed, and delivered in my presence, so the certificate names the act the officer actually performs. Marriage alone adds no signature line: Georgia abolished dower and curtesy, and no located statute requires a non-owner spouse to join an ordinary lifetime conveyance. A married couple releasing a jointly titled property presents a two-grantor pattern, which this form does not recite.
PT-61, transfer tax, and the recording package
A Georgia deed of conveyance travels with a PT-61 Real Estate Transfer Tax filing, completed electronically through the GSCCCA portal, and the clerk certifies payment of any transfer tax before recording (O.C.G.A. Section 48-6-4). The tax runs $1.00 for the first $1,000 of consideration or value above $100 and ten cents for each additional $100 (O.C.G.A. Section 48-6-1); deeds of gift, certain divorce transfers between spouses, and several other transfers listed in O.C.G.A. Section 48-6-2 are exempt, and an exempt filing states its exemption on the PT-61. The statewide recording fee is a flat $25.00 for a deed (O.C.G.A. Section 15-6-77). Since January 1, 2025, Georgia's deed-fraud legislation routes self-filers, meaning parties outside the professional filer categories, through the GSCCCA eFile portal with government-issued identification verified before filing.
Formatted for Georgia's first page rules
The form reserves a full three inches at the top of page one for the clerk's recording notation (O.C.G.A. Section 15-6-61(a)(10)) and places the return-to name and mailing address at the top of the first page, where O.C.G.A. Section 44-2-14(b) requires it. A tax parcel identification line sits near the top as well, covering the DeKalb County local rule that a deed of conveyance show the parcel number on the first page. The numbered sections collect the parties, consideration, county, legal description, street address, and prior recording reference, and the conveyance section performs the release in complete prose.
The purchase delivers the blank quitclaim deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing the form filled in for a realistic Cobb County fact pattern, and a plain language guide that walks through every numbered section, the witness and officer formalities, and the PT-61 and recording steps. The materials describe Georgia law in general terms and are not legal advice.

Messaging system should reach customer email. It took me a couple of days to find out the processor had messaged me. A customer notification should be implemented for every message left in the account.
Thank you!

Review: There are 10 PDFs in this warranty deed package. I don't even know what to do with them all. I don't think the directions are clear enough on how to put it all together. I probably won't use it, and feel I have wasted my money.
Sorry to hear that the volume of documents required to complete your task was more than you anticipated. It is rare that we get complaints about providing everything needed. We certainly don't want you to be overwhelmed or feel like you have wasted your money. Your order and payment has been canceled and we do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.
