Removing an Owner’s Name from Property Title in Georgia
Are you looking to remove someone's name from the title of your Georgia property? In this blog on changing property titles, we'll discuss the three most common reasons why people need to remove a name from the title.
The 3 Most Common Reasons to Remove a Name from Property Title:
1. Divorce
When a couple gets divorced, one spouse often needs to remove the other's name from the title of their shared home or properties. The divorce decree typically states that one ex-spouse must sign a deed to remove their interest in the property, allowing the other spouse to retain sole ownership. In Georgia this is typically done with a Quitclaim Deed.
2. Death of an Owner
If a property is jointly owned, and one of the owners passes away, their name needs to be removed from the title. In cases where the property is held as joint tenants with right of survivorship (JTWROS), the deceased owner's name can be removed, and the surviving owner retains full ownership without going through probate.
3. Life/Situation Changes
Sometimes, owners of a home or investment property decide they no longer want to share ownership. In such cases, one or more owners may want to remove their names from the title, allowing the remaining owners to continue as sole owners after transfering the property's title.
The Challenges of Removing a Name from Title
While the reasons for removing a name from a property title seem straightforward, the process can be complex, especially in divorce cases, death of a property owner, or when multiple properties with multiple legal descriptions are involved.
