About this Georgia form

Georgia TOD Deed Revocation — What This Package Is For

Use a Georgia revocation of transfer-on-death deed to cancel a previously recorded Georgia TOD deed before the record owner dies. The revocation identifies the original TOD deed, revokes the beneficiary designation, and must be recorded in the proper county before death.

The revocation conveys no title. After recording, the owner holds the property free of the revoked beneficiary designation, subject to any other recorded instruments and facts.

What You Receive

Editable Georgia TOD Deed Revocation: a Word document for revoking a prior Georgia transfer-on-death deed, with original-deed reference, owner/agent signing, execution, and Exhibit A sections.
Separate instructions and recording checklist: a Word checklist covering the special signing rule, original TOD deed reference, POA issues, recording before death, and no-title-transfer filing guidance.

Important Revocation Notes

Different witness rule: O.C.G.A. § 44-17-4 requires an authorized officer plus two other witnesses — one more witness than an ordinary Georgia deed.
Record before death: an unrecorded revocation, or a revocation recorded after death, does not undo the beneficiary designation.
Who signs: the record owner or the record owner’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact may sign. POA authority over real property should be reviewed before using an agent.
No beneficiary consent: beneficiary signature, consent, agreement, or notice is not required.
No title transfer: no PT-61 is expected because the revocation passes no title, but eFiling workflows can change; confirm when filing.
