When my dear friend Lisa, a local homeowner in Georgia, lost her mother unexpectedly, she assumed the home would automatically be passed down to her and her siblings. After all, the mortgage was paid off, and her mother made her wishes clear.

But what Lisa didn’t realize is that without a clear, legal plan in writing, her mother’s home had to go through probate court—a lengthy, public, and costly process.

What should’ve been a gift turned into a burden: court filings, legal fees, and months of uncertainty. It’s a scenario many families unknowingly face.

That’s why we created the Legacy Planning Guide for Homeowners—a simple, powerful resource designed to help Georgia families protect their property, avoid probate, and pass down real estate the right way.

💼 Why Georgia Homeowners Need Legacy Planning—Now More Than Ever

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or long-time homeowner, you already have a legacy to protect. Your home is likely one of your most valuable assets, and thanks to a new law, you now have more options to protect it.

As of July 1, 2024, Georgia officially allows Transfer-on-Death (TOD) deeds. This means homeowners can name a beneficiary who will inherit their property when they pass away, without going through probate.

🧾 What’s Inside the Legacy Planning Guide

This free guide breaks down everything Georgia homeowners need to know, including:

✅ A legacy planning checklist
✅ How to set up a TOD deed under Georgia’s new law
✅ Trusts vs. TOD deeds – what’s right for your situation
✅ Risks of adding someone to your deed
✅ What to do if you've inherited property
✅ Bonus: Legacy letter prompts to pass down your values and family stories

💡 Important Facts Every Georgia Homeowner Should Know

• ✅ Georgia TOD Deeds Are Now Legal (2024): You can name a “Designated Grantee Beneficiary” who will inherit your property outside of probate.
  
  

• ⚠️ The beneficiary must record paperwork within 9 months of your passing or the property goes to your estate.
  
  

• ⚠️ TOD deeds don’t protect against Medicaid recovery or creditor claims.
  
  

• ⚠️ Adding a child to your deed may seem simple, but it could trigger gift taxes, capital gains, and even legal complications later.
