I think what you're referring to here is a quitclaim, a kind of deed, in which a person signs away whatever rights they may have in the identified piece of real estate, without actually saying they have any rights in the first place. This is different than the sort of deed you would get when buying a house, where the seller's deed would have to state that the sellers were the owners and were transferring that ownership.
Exactly how you need to handle the paperwork in this case will depend on several facts, and on Georgia law and procedure (it differs somewhat, between states). It's very much worth having an attorney draw the papers so they're correct, and one place to find a lawyer in your area is our website, http://attorneypages.com
