Since the probate process is complete, you can proceed with the quitclaim deed. You'll want to include language in the deed that reflects the transfer of property from your deceased husband to you, as specified in his will (GA Code § 53-8-15(b)). Here's a basic outline you might consider:

1. Grantor: Your husband's name, followed by “deceased.”

2. Grantee: Your name.

3. Consideration: Typically, this is a nominal amount like $10, as it's a transfer between family members.

4. Legal Description: The full legal description of the property.

5. Special Language: You can include a statement like:
“This property is transferred to [Your Name] as per the Last Will and Testament of [Husband's Name], dated [Date of Will].”

Then it’s signed by you as the executor of the estate.

My deceased husband left everything to me, including several pieces of property that were recorded in his name only. What wording do I use on a quitclaim deed so that I can transfer deeds into my name?

I'm sorry to hear about your loss; that must be a challenging situation. Have you already gone through the probate process for your husband's estate?

I don't know.

Lexi, Chatbot

Are there any specific properties or locations involved that might have unique regulations or requirements?

Yes, I have already finished the probate process. There are no unique regulations or requirements.

I hope so. I need to transfer properties from my deceased husband's name into mine. I plan to do quitclaim deeds, but was told I needed to use language showing that he was deceased and had given the properties to me in his will.
