Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

Real estate is transfered via an Assent to Devise. There is no form for this and it is NOT a deed although it is filed like a deed. Each one has to be custom drafted based on the facts of the case as it uses language from the specific will, the specific Letters Testamentary and the former deed. Most local probate lawyers can do one. A computer generated PT-61 is also required. If you want to go out of the area to draft one, we can handle it inexpensively by mail. Feel free to contact me with details.

It is actually one of several steps in the process of administering the estate. So, technically, the answer is �yes� -- a deed of assent could be used to transfer the property, but there may be important work to be done with the estate prior to the property transfer. In other words, you should get advice about what�s already been done, and what may need to be done before the issuance of the deed.
