Georgia Deed Forms

Choose the Georgia deed or deed-related form by the legal result you want: broad warranty, limited warranty, no-warranty release, gift transfer, reserved life estate, transfer at death, post-death TOD acceptance, or TOD revocation. Georgia recording also requires careful attention to witnesses, PT-61/eFiling, legal description, and Clerk of Superior Court requirements.

Not sure which Georgia deed or TOD document to use?

Start with the intended legal effect, not the shortest form name. Georgia warranty, special warranty, quitclaim, gift, life estate, transfer-on-death, TOD acceptance, and TOD revocation documents serve different purposes and use different warranty, signing, recording, tax, and post-death rules.

Available Georgia deed forms

Best fit

Important Georgia recording notes

  • Georgia deeds are recorded with the Clerk of Superior Court in the county where the real property is located; multi-county property can require recording in more than one county.
  • Ordinary Georgia deeds, including warranty, quitclaim, special warranty, gift, life estate, and Georgia transfer-on-death deeds, require the grantor to sign in the physical presence of an authorized officer, typically a notary public, and one additional unofficial witness. The officer and witness should be different people.
  • A Georgia revocation of transfer-on-death deed has a different statutory signing rule: the owner or authorized attorney-in-fact signs before an authorized officer plus two other witnesses.
  • Georgia PT-61 transfer-tax declarations, exemption reporting, value/consideration entries, transfer-tax payment, and GSCCCA eFiling requirements are separate recording steps. Self-filers generally use the GSCCCA eFiling portal with identity verification.
  • For deaths on or after July 1, 2024, a Georgia TOD beneficiary must timely record an acceptance affidavit and related materials within nine months after death or the interest can revert to the estate.
  • Georgia is an attorney-closing state for many real-estate closings, especially financed sales. Use professional review for lender, title-insurance, fiduciary, probate, divorce, bankruptcy, guardianship, court-ordered, disputed-title, Medicaid, tax, or capacity facts.
  • Correction deeds, easements, trustee deeds, personal-representative deeds, guardian deeds, probate instruments, and other specialty transfers are not currently part of this Georgia self-service deed suite.
