What are deeds and deed requirements in Georgia to convey title to property?
Deeds are relatively short documents with specific legal terms of art designed to convey title as the grantor (seller) or grantee (buyer) desire to convey title. An accurate legal description of the property must be included or attached to the deed. Georgia law requires one witness and a separate notary to sign the conveying deed along with the grantor’s signature. Once the deed has been executed by the grantor, delivered to and accepted by the grantee, title has been transferred. However, your deed must then be recorded in the appropriate county office so that it is a matter of public record.
