Under Georgia law, specifically Section 44-17-4, the process for revoking a transfer-on-death (TOD) deed involves several steps:
Revoking a TOD Deed:
Execution and Acknowledgment: The record owner (the person who created the TOD deed) must execute an instrument of revocation. This means the owner must sign a document stating the revocation. The signature must be acknowledged before an officer as provided in Code Section 44-2-15, typically a notary public. Two additional witnesses must also attest to the signature.
Content of the Revocation Instrument: The instrument must refer to the original TOD deed.
The instrument must be signed by the record owner or their duly authorized attorney-in-fact.
Recording the Revocation: The instrument of revocation must be recorded in the office of the clerk of the superior court in the county where the real estate is located.
No Consent Required: The revocation does not require the consent, agreement, or notice to the designated grantee beneficiary or beneficiaries.
Changing the Beneficiary Designation: Executing a New TOD Deed: The record owner can change the beneficiary designation by executing a new TOD deed.
This new TOD deed must also be acknowledged and recorded in the same manner as the original.
Recording the New TOD Deed: The new TOD deed must be recorded in the office of the clerk of the superior court in the county where the real estate is located.
Effect of the New TOD Deed: The new TOD deed automatically revokes all prior beneficiary designations for that interest in real estate. Again, no consent, agreement, or notice to the previously designated grantee beneficiary or beneficiaries is required.
Additional Note: A TOD deed cannot be revoked by the provisions of a will. This means that the revocation must occur through the specified process during the owner's lifetime and cannot be undone through a will after the owner's death.
By understanding and following these steps, you can confidently manage and update your real estate beneficiary designations, ensuring they reflect your latest intentions.

Forms used, created quitclaim deed that the county accepted without a second look (turns out they see deeds.com forms regularly via erecording and in person). Will be back for any real estate related forms I need and they carry. Will always be my first stop. Also, will use erecording next time, mad I didn't see it this time.
Thanks for the kind words James, glad we could help. Look forward to seeing you again.

Wasn’t what I expected
Sorry to hear that your expectations were missed. Your order has been canceled. We do hope that you find something more suitable to your expectations elsewhere. Do keep in mind that purchasing legal forms should not be an exploratory endeavor.

Review: There are 10 PDFs in this warranty deed package. I don't even know what to do with them all. I don't think the directions are clear enough on how to put it all together. I probably won't use it, and feel I have wasted my money.
Sorry to hear that the volume of documents required to complete your task was more than you anticipated. It is rare that we get complaints about providing everything needed. We certainly don't want you to be overwhelmed or feel like you have wasted your money. Your order and payment has been canceled and we do hope that you find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere. Have a wonderful day.
