Title risk

Liens that survive the sale

Sheriff’s tax deed does not allow immediate possession/eviction; redemption rights dominate for 12 months. Prior mortgages and liens may still be relevant until redemption is foreclosed. Federal liens require independent analysis.

Quiet title

After foreclosure of right of redemption, quiet title petition under OCGA §23-3-60 is recommended for marketable title.
