Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

Suvivorship Deed

Husband and I own property as joint tenants with suvivorship. I have recently found out he has gift deeded our property to a minor child he had out of wedlock. I searched property records and now my name is no longer on record books in courthouse. I knew nothing about this and I signed nothing gift deeding this property to this child. Is the survivorship deed still legal? What can I do?

Re: Suvivorship Deed

Your interest cannot be transferred without your signature on a deed. It is unlikely your name is "no longer on the record books," since deeds generally do not disappear. Perhaps he transferred his interest, and not yours.
