Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Georgia
When Grantor is deceased, which warranty deed should be completed when grantee i
My mother died years ago. Her home has been in my care since 1979. I pay the taxes on it. I have a quit claim deed, from 1996 which reflects me as the Grantee. Which Warranty deed form should I fill out to have filed and recorded with Cobb County to be a legal binding document?

If I am understanding your post correctly, she deeded the house to you by Quitclaim Deed before she died. In that case, you already own it. The deed should have been recorded at that time. If, for some reason it was not, it can be recorded now.
There would be no warranty deed possible in the situation you mention. The property, if your posting is correct, has already been deeded.
To be sure it has, a lawyer could look at the deed you have.

You don't need a warranty deed. Your quitclaim deed transferred title. Just get it recorded and make sure she didn't execute any other deeds since she got title.
