No formal execution requirements beyond settlor signature; notarization strongly recommended when funding real property
Funding Georgia real estate into the trust
To transfer Georgia real estate into your trust, you sign a new deed conveying the property from yourself to yourself as trustee, then record the deed with the Superior Court Clerk's office of the county where any deeded Trust property lies for the county where the property is located. The trust does not control real estate unless the deed transfer is recorded.
