Summary
The bill changes Georgia’s recording rules so any quitclaim deed must carry a bold statement that the grantor no longer owns the property. It also mandates that the name and mailing address of the person receiving an affidavit or other recorded instrument be printed on the first page. These steps aim to reduce title fraud and make ownership changes clearer.
