I. TIPS ON COMPLETING THE FORMS

The form(s) in this packet may contain “form fields” created using Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat (“.pdf” format). “Form fields” facilitate completion of the forms using your computer. They do not limit your ability to print the form “in blank” and complete with a typewriter or by hand.

It is also helpful to be able to see the location of the form fields. Go to the View menu, click on Toolbars, and then select Forms. This will open the Forms toolbar. Look for the button on the Forms toolbar that resembles a shaded letter “a”. Click this button and the form fields will be visible.

By clicking on the appropriate form field, you will be able to enter the needed information. In some instances, the form field and the line will disappear after information is entered. In other cases, it will not. The form was created to function in this manner.

II. DESIGNATING HOW THE GRANTEES WILL HOLD THE PROPERTY:

A. In the State of Georgia real property can be held by more than one person (concurrent estates) in the following ways:

1. If the Grantees ARE NOT married to each other, they can hold the property as:

a. Tenants in Common: a type of concurrent estate in which each party owns an undivided interest in the property that will pass to their heirs when the tenant in common dies. Generally their shares are “equal” but may differ in size.

b. Joint Tenants with the Right of Survivorship (JTWROS): is a type of concurrent estate in which co-owners have a right of survivorship, meaning that if one owner dies, that owner's interest in the property will pass to the surviving owner or owners by operation of law, and avoiding probate.

2. If the Grantees ARE married to each other, they can hold the property as:

a. Tenants in Common – See above

b. Joint Tenants with the Right of Survivorship – See above

3. In the attached deed, the preparer will need to indicate how the Grantees will hold the property: as Tenants in Common or Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship.
