How to Transfer a Property Deed in Georgia

Are you looking to add or remove someone's name on the title of your property? Maybe you're transferring the deed to a family member, business partner, or LLC. Maybe looking for a gift deed where no money is changing hands. Whatever the reason, transferring a property deed in Georgia doesn't have to be a headache.

In this guide, we'll walk you through the process step-by-step so you can get your deed updated with ease.

The Key Steps

  1. Choose the Right Deed Type

    In Georgia, you have a couple options - a Quit Claim Deed or a Warranty Deed. A Quit Claim Deed is commonly used between family members or parties who know the property well. It releases any ownership interest without any guarantees. A Warranty Deed provides more protection, guaranteeing the full history of the property title.

  2. Prepare the Deed Document

    The deed will need to include the names of the current and new owners, a description of the property, and signatures from the current owner(s) with two witnesses (one must be a notary public).

  3. Complete the Transfer Tax Form

    You'll also need to fill out a PT-61 Transfer Tax Form and submit it to the county along with the deed.

  4. Record the Deed

    The final step is to record the completed deed with the county where the property is located. This officially updates the public records.

That's the basic process in a nutshell. Of course, deed transfers can get a bit more complicated, especially if you're dealing with complex ownership situations or property legal descriptions.
