Georgia laws regarding eviction of family member

Asked over 3 years ago - Marietta, GA

My cousin is trying to "kick" his mother out of her house. He changed the title of her house to his name without her consent about 10 years ago. Can he legally kick her out her house, even thought the title is now in his name?

How did he change the title to her house without her consent ? While I do not practice law in your state, normally that can only be done by a notarized deed from the owner. If he forged her name, in the states were I practice, he would not have legal title.

I think your cousin's mother should speak with an attorney as soon as possible to file a lawsuit to set aside the property transfer and to file a notice in the deed records that ownership of the property is in dispute. At this point if she is there without a deed in her name or on a lease, he can file an eviction notice. He must first give her 60 days advance written notice that he is requiring her to leave the property.
