Brumby Law
William E. Brumby II, PC is a boutique firm specializing in residential real estate transactions. Mr. Brumby has been practicing real estate law for twenty-five years and for the past fifteen years, his practice has concentrated on investment properties and private equity lending. He and his staff are dedicated to conducting real estate transactions in a thorough, efficient and timely basis so as to insure a smooth transaction with as little stress as possible.
Once you have selected a property, Belgrave Group, Ltd will notify us of the pending transaction and provide the pertinent details. Our office will then examine the title to the subject property in accordance with the Title Standards for the State of Georgia to verify that the title to the property is good and marketable. The title examination process will disclose any defects in the title or liens against the property that will need to be resolved prior to title being passed. At such time as all outstanding items against the title have been resolved or arrangements for their release as a part of closing have been made, my office will prepare the necessary documents for execution by the Seller and complete the sale of the property in accordance with your reservation agreement.
In Georgia, it is very uncommon for title to be transferred in any form less than a free hold or fee simple interest by virtue of a warranty deed. Georgia law does, however, make a distinction between a tenancy in common and a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship when more than one individual is named on the deed. The only difference in the two forms of ownership lies in the disposition of the property upon the death of one of the cotenants. In the case of a tenancy in common the ownership interest will pass through the estate of the decedent, whereas, in a joint tenancy the whole title will vest in the survivor by operation of law with no further action required. Georgia law presumes that cotenants take title as tenants in common unless a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship is specifically created. If a joint tenancy is desired, our office needs to be notifed of that election at the time the reservation is made.
The transfer of the property is effective upon the execution and delivery of the deed; however Georgia law requires that the deed be recorded in the real estate records for the county in which the property is located. A copy of the deed will be emailed to you upon execution but prior to recording along with a brief explanation of the remainder of the process. Once the recorded deed has been returned to our office, we will issue an Owner’s Title Insurance policy in the name of the new owner. This policy insures that the owner holds unencumbered fee title to the property subject only to customary recorded easements for the delivery of utilities to the property and perhaps protective covenants for the development. The recorded deed and title policy will then be mailed to you.
