Questions answered? Let's get started!
Georgia prescribes no deed form at all. O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-33 provides that no prescribed form is essential to the validity of a deed to lands, and O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-61 leaves no warranty of title implied in one. Between those two rules sits everything a Georgia warranty deed is: an instrument that does exactly what its own words do, and promises exactly what its own words promise. This general warranty deed is the base form of that instrument, drafted for natural persons conveying in their own names.
The covenant the deed writes down
What makes this a warranty deed is the express covenant on its face, a general warranty against the claims of all persons whomsoever. O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-62 supplies the statutory reach of that phrase: a right to sell, quiet enjoyment, and freedom from encumbrances. O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-63 pushes it further, reaching title defects the purchaser already knew about, which is why the deed's own list of exceptions marks the outer edge of the promise rather than anything the buyer happened to learn. Section 7 holds that list. Section 8, which has no blanks in it, carries the granting words, the habendum in fee simple forever, and the warranty itself.
Open party blocks, one or two people a side
Section 1 takes one or two natural persons as grantors, in the names their vesting deed uses, and Section 2 takes one or two grantees together with any designation for the way they hold. Nothing about marital status, capacity, or co-ownership is printed anywhere on the instrument; those words are the filler's, and the guide teaches them. Georgia's default for two grantees is tenancy in common under O.C.G.A. Section 44-6-120, and survivorship comes only from express statutory wording in O.C.G.A. Section 44-6-190. All four count patterns, one grantor or two conveying to one grantee or two, run through the same page furniture. Conveyances signed by a company, by a trustee or executor, or by an agent under a power of attorney turn on authority language this form does not carry, and three or more owners on a side pass the capacity of its party blocks.
An execution page the record has to read
Georgia executes deeds by attestation rather than by acknowledgment alone. O.C.G.A. Section 44-5-30 asks for three signatures: the maker's, an officer's under O.C.G.A. Section 44-2-15, in most closings a notary public, and one other witness's. Officer and witness both watch the signing and then sign the paper themselves. The form doubles that set, giving each of two grantors a signature block, an unofficial witness block, and an officer certificate, and the second of each is left blank when a single grantor conveys. Each certificate is captioned as an attestation and states that the deed was signed, sealed, and delivered in the officer's presence, naming the notarial act O.C.G.A. Section 45-17-1 defines. Georgia decisions treat a deed that was never properly attested as giving no constructive notice at all, even once the clerk has recorded it.
What the first page has to carry
The top three inches of page one stay clear for the clerk's notation under O.C.G.A. Section 15-6-61(a)(10), and the first thing printed below that reserve is the return block that O.C.G.A. Section 44-2-14(b) places at the top of the first page. A tax parcel identification line sits beside it, answering DeKalb County's local first page parcel rule and speeding indexing elsewhere. The finished deed goes to the clerk of superior court in the county where the land lies, at the flat statutory filing fee of O.C.G.A. Section 15-6-77(f), which does not vary with page count, and a conveyance for value travels with an electronic PT-61 return and transfer tax figured under O.C.G.A. Section 48-6-1. Filers outside the listed professional categories now record through the self filer electronic channel with identity verification.
The package holds three things: this warranty deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example filled in for a Fulton County transfer by two grantors to two grantees taking with survivorship, and a plain language guide covering each numbered section, the attestation formalities, the ways Georgia lets grantees hold title, and the run from PT-61 to file stamp. Everything here describes Georgia law in general terms for information, and none of it is legal advice.

Your Personal Representative's Deed and example for the state of PA were extremely helpful. Exactly what I needed! Two feedback comments: 1. Valuation Factors/Short List in my download is an outdated table dated July 2020. The PA Dept of Revenue website has a more current table dated June 2021. (Maybe same for Valuation Factors/Long List, which I didn't use.) 2. Notarization section on deed page 3 has a gender-related input needed, which confused the Notary Public representative where I live in the state of CO. Notary input the word she to apply to my wife, but wasn't clear to him if the gender input applied to the Grantor or the Notary. He assumed Grantor. Also in our non-binary world, some might find that wording offensive. Thanks again for your documents. Russ Lewis
Thank you!

I used the "personal representative's deed." There were a few errors, after I went to record it at the county recorder's office. For #7, it should've stated "The estate of Joe Schmoe, hereby grants Mr. Personal Representative....." instead of, "I Mr. Personal Representative, as personal representative, hereby grant to personal representative...." The person at the recorder's office said you cannot state "you are granting property to yourself." Just fix that, and everything else is fine.
Your insights are invaluable to us and help us strive for better service. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

The Mineral Deed transfer form was pretty good. Could have used more info in the guide about where to find legal property descriptions and source of title. Also more space on the pdf for entering return addresses - there was room for only one; I needed three. I will be sending the form to the County Courthouse soon. I hope it works.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
