Georgia closing guide

Georgia closing documents checklist

A Georgia residential closing packet often includes a deed, PT-61, settlement statement, attorney opinion letter or title-related language, affidavits, tax forms, and source records for review.

The first-pass packet

Cliros focuses on the first-pass packet: title search report, actual recorded deed scan, commitment-style checklist, AOL draft language, deed draft, settlement statement, homeowner summary, PT-61, seller affidavit, 1099-S, and owner's policy affidavit.

What still belongs to the attorney

The attorney verifies, edits, signs, records, coordinates lender and underwriter requirements, and makes all legal judgments.

Why a checklist helps

A named-file checklist reduces missed assembly steps and gives staff a consistent starting point while keeping review responsibility clear.

FAQ

Does every Georgia closing need the same documents?

No. The required set depends on the transaction, lender, underwriter, county, parties, and attorney judgment.

Why generate draft documents before attorney review?

Drafts save assembly time and expose mismatches earlier, but they remain drafts until reviewed and approved.
