Georgia authorizes remote notarization
On March 31, the governor of Georgia issued an executive order suspending requirements of Georgia’s property code that notarizations of deeds and other instruments to record interests in real property occur in person. Instead, any such requirement can now be satisfied by the use of real time audio-video conference. In addition, the order permits required witnesses to appear remotely. The suspension will last until the state of emergency in Georgia is terminated.
