Georgia Quitclaim Deed — What This Package Is For
Georgia deed package last revised: July 2, 2026.
Use a Georgia quitclaim deed only when the parties intend a no-warranty transfer. A quitclaim deed releases whatever right, title, and interest the grantor has, if any, and does not promise that the grantor owns the property or that title is free from liens, claims, or defects.
A quitclaim deed is not simply a shorter warranty deed. It can fit selected known-party, family, divorce-related, trust, or title-clearing transfers, but it is often not the best fit for a sale, title-insured transfer, lender-reviewed transfer, or transaction where the grantee expects warranty protection.
What You Receive
- Editable Georgia Quitclaim Deed: a Word document for a no-warranty quitclaim conveyance, with party, consideration, exceptions, vesting, execution, and Exhibit A legal-description sections.
- Separate instructions and recording checklist: a Word checklist focused on Georgia quitclaim use limits, signing, PT-61/eFiling, recording, and stop conditions.
Key Georgia Signing and Recording Points
- No warranty: the deed gives no title warranties and does not automatically pass after-acquired title.
- Witnesses: ordinary Georgia deed attestation still applies — an authorized officer, usually a notary public, plus one additional unofficial witness physically present at signing. The officer and unofficial witness should be different people, and neither should be a party or beneficiary.
- Recording: record with the Clerk of Superior Court in the county where the land is located, using a complete legal description and the required first-page recording space.
- PT-61/eFiling: Georgia PT-61, transfer-tax, exemption, and GSCCCA eFiling requirements can still apply to no-warranty conveyances.
When to Stop Before Using This Form
Get professional review before using a quitclaim deed for a sale, title-insurance transaction, lender-sensitive transfer, unclear ownership chain, expected after-acquired title, probate or estate matter, bankruptcy, divorce dispute, power-of-attorney signing, or any transfer where the grantee expects title protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What files are included?

Does a Georgia quitclaim deed provide a warranty?
No. It releases whatever interest the grantor has, if any, and provides no deed warranty of title.
Does a quitclaim deed still need Georgia witnesses?
Yes. Georgia deed attestation rules still apply: an authorized officer and one unofficial witness should be physically present when the grantor signs.
Should I use a quitclaim deed because it seems simple?
No. Choose a quitclaim deed only when no-warranty quitclaim treatment is intended and the title, lender, tax, and recording consequences have been reviewed.
