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.

This was the first time to use the Deeds.com website for preparing my deed document. This was painless and easy to follow the instructions and sample package for filling in the blank boxes document. The city clerk was impressed to review my document and easily filed my deed record without questions. I would recommend anyone to prepare a legal form that is available from the Deeds.com website.
Your appreciative words mean the world to us. Thank you.

Look great and I thought my daughter wanted me to buy, but she had already bought the package so didn't need it.
Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback Barbara, we appreciate it. We understand that it was an inconvenience for both you and your daughter to have unintentionally purchased the same item. Therefore, we have taken immediate action and canceled your order as well as processed the refund for your payment. Have a wonderful day.

The process was easy and reasonable. My only problem was that, when I filled out my form on the computer, the writing I did overlapped with the pre-written words on the form, so that I had to end up doing it by hand. I've used DEEDS before and have not had that problem.
Thank you for your feedback Cherene. We've emailed you for some followup regarding the issue you reported.

I guess I got what I paid for. The site said I would be able to download blank PDF forms that I could fill out on my computer. I expected fillable forms, like I download for taxes. Instead the forms I got could only be completed by using Adobe Sign and Fill tools. These are much harder to use than fillable forms.
Thank you for your feedback. We really appreciate it. Have a great day!
