What is a quitclaim deed?

A quitclaim deed transfers whatever ownership interest the current owner has in a Georgia property to another person — with no warranties. The grantor isn't guaranteeing that the title is clean, that they actually own the property, or that there are no liens. They're simply "quitting" their claim and handing it over.

That sounds risky, but in the right situation it's the perfect tool. When the grantor and grantee already trust each other — spouses, family members, business partners, or the same person moving property into their own trust or LLC — a warranty is unnecessary. The quitclaim gets the name change done fast, cheap, and cleanly.

Key distinction: Quitclaims are not for real estate sales between strangers. If money is changing hands for a property you don't already own, you want a warranty deed and title insurance. Use a quitclaim when the relationship between the parties makes a title warranty unnecessary.

Common uses for a Georgia quitclaim deed

Divorce

One spouse is awarded the house in a divorce decree. The other spouse signs a quitclaim to remove their name from title. The single most common quitclaim use in Georgia.

Adding or removing a spouse

Newly married and want your spouse on the deed? Getting divorced and need them off? A quitclaim handles both.

Gifting property to family

Passing the family home to an adult child, a sibling, or another relative. No sale, no money changing hands, just a name change.

Moving property into an LLC

Real-estate investors transferring personal property into an LLC for liability protection. Quitclaim is the standard vehicle.

Moving property into a trust

Living trust, revocable trust, or land trust — a quitclaim moves the real estate into the trust's name without a sale event.

Correcting a name or typo

Recorded deed misspelled your name? Maiden name vs. married name mismatch? A corrective quitclaim deed fixes it on the public record.

How we prepare your quitclaim deed

Three steps. Start to finish in about 2 weeks.

  1. takes ~5 minutes

    Step 1 — Share property and party details

    Complete our online form: the property address, who's on title now (grantor), and who's going on title (grantee). Upload a copy of the current deed if you have one — if you don't, we'll pull it.

  2. ready in 2 business days

    Step 2 — Receive your quitclaim deed

    We pull your current title record, confirm the legal description, prepare the quitclaim deed, complete the Georgia PT-61 transfer form (or claim the correct exemption), and email everything with signing instructions.

  3. recording up to 1 week

    Step 3 — Sign, notarize, and we record it

    Grantor signs in front of a notary and one witness (Georgia's execution rule), ships back with our prepaid FedEx label, and we eFile it with your county clerk under Georgia's HB 1292 eFiling rules. Recorded copy arrives by email.

Quitclaim vs. warranty deeds — which do you need?

  Quitclaim Limited Warranty General Warranty
Transfers ownership ✓ ✓ ✓
Grantor guarantees clear title ✗ Partial* ✓ (full history)
Used between family / trust / LLC ✓ — —
Used in a sale between strangers ✗ ✓ ✓
Cost to prepare with us $249 $249 $249
Fastest to execute ✓ ✓ ✓

*Limited warranty covers only the period the grantor owned the property — not earlier owners.

If you're transferring property to someone you trust (or to your own trust or LLC), a quitclaim is almost always the right call — cheaper, faster, and it does exactly what you need. If money is changing hands with a non-family buyer, you want a warranty deed and title insurance — which isn't what we do here. See our full deed comparison →

Georgia Quitclaim Deed — Frequently Asked Questions

Does a quitclaim deed remove my name from the mortgage?
No. A quitclaim deed transfers ownership on the title, but it doesn't touch the mortgage. If your name is on the loan, you're still on the loan after the quitclaim. To remove your name from the mortgage, the remaining owner has to refinance the loan in their name alone or get a written release from the lender.
Will a quitclaim deed trigger my mortgage's due-on-sale clause?
For most family transfers, no. Federal law (the Garn-St. Germain Act) prohibits lenders from calling a loan due on transfers to a spouse, a child, a joint tenant, or a living trust where the borrower is the beneficiary. Transfers to an LLC are not protected — that's the main case where due-on-sale can be triggered.
Does a quitclaim deed clear existing liens on the property?
No. Liens, mortgages, and judgments attached to the property stay attached after a quitclaim transfer. The new owner takes the property subject to every encumbrance. If you need liens cleared, that's a separate title-curative process — ask us and we'll tell you whether ClearPathTitle can handle it.
Do both spouses have to sign the quitclaim?
Only the grantor (the person giving up their interest) has to sign. If a single owner is quitclaiming to a spouse, only the owner signs. In a divorce scenario where one spouse is awarded the house, the other spouse signs a quitclaim conveying their interest out. Georgia execution requires the grantor's signature, a notary, and one witness.
Can I use a quitclaim deed to add my spouse to the title after marriage?
Yes. The current owner quitclaims the property to themselves and their spouse jointly. The new deed vests title in both names — typically as joint tenants with right of survivorship, which is the most common choice for married couples in Georgia.
How much does it cost in Georgia?
Our flat fee is $249 (or $329 for rush service). That includes title record review, deed preparation, PT-61 form, eFiling, and county recording. Some counties charge additional recording fees beyond our flat fee — but those are typically $10–$25 and we'll disclose any variance up front.
Do I need an attorney for a quitclaim deed in Georgia?
Not for most transfers. Georgia law doesn't require an attorney to prepare or record a quitclaim deed. What you do need is someone who knows the statutory requirements — proper legal description, correct execution (notary + witness), PT-61 filing, and HB 1292 eFiling. That's what our team handles.
Can a quitclaim deed be reversed?
Only by the new owner. Once a quitclaim deed is delivered and recorded, the original grantor no longer has any interest in the property. To undo it, the current owner would have to execute a new deed transferring the property back. This is why quitclaims are used between parties who trust each other.
What if my name is different now than on the existing deed?
That's a common reason to use a quitclaim — to correct the name of record. You'd quitclaim from your old name (or maiden name) "aka" your current name, to your current name alone. We draft the recital language to establish the identity on the record.
How long does the full process take?
We draft your quitclaim within 2 business days of receiving your property details. After you sign and return it, your county records it in up to 1 week, depending on county workload. Total door-to-door: roughly 2 weeks.
