Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

I have read that in GA, married couples can not sever the joint tenancy without the both of them consenting when the property is their homestead. USlegal wrote, "In order to convey a homestead, both spouses must actually join in the deed and not merely sign and acknowlegde it." Another site said, "Georgia requires that in the sale or mortgage of the homestead, both spouses sign the contract deed or mortgage. Georgia code 19-3-9" I have been told that this is not true. Could someone, please, clairify how married couples convey their homestead?
