Real Estate Laws in Georgia.

Georgia real-estate law runs primarily through Title 44 of the O.C.G.A. Georgia allows non-judicial foreclosure under power-of-sale deeds to secure debt, which makes Georgia one of the faster-foreclosure states. Georgia also uses a distinctive dispossessory proceeding in Magistrate Court for residential evictions.
