The surviving spouse will receive at least ⅓ of the inheritance, while the children will split the remaining ⅔. Regardless of whether a deceased spouse leaves a will and whether that will provides for distributions to a surviving spouse, in Georgia, every surviving spouse is entitled to apply for “Year's Support.”
Yes. Generally, the right of survivorship will take precedence over a Last Will and Testament if the jointly-owned property is distributed wrongfully in someone's estate plans. Therefore, you shouldn't list any property in your Will that you and another person(s) jointly own with the right of survivorship.
Under Georgia law, there are two types of joint ownership. The first, known as “Joint Ownership with Rights of Survivorship” means that two or more parties have simultaneous ownership of a property. When one of those parties dies, their share of the property passes to the surviving owner(s).
Georgia recognizes Joint Tenancy with the Right of Survivorship as a common form of joint ownership. This form allows multiple people or entities to own a title interest in the property and comes with various rights and responsibilities.
As of July 1, 2024, Georgia does recognize Transfer on Death deeds for real estate. Under the new statute, an interest in real estate may be transferred on death by recording a transfer-on-death deed that is signed by the record owner.
Although Georgia does not recognize Tenancy by the Entirety, Georgia does recognize spousal rights to a decedent's estate through a separate mechanism called a Petition for Year's Support. Although not a deed per se, the petition can be used to vest title in a surviving spouse of the decedent's interest.

Twenty-five states plus the District of Columbia allow tenancy by the entirety. However, rules vary by states. Some restrict the practice to real estate assets or homestead properties. Certain states also allow domestic partners and common-law spouses as well as married couples to use tenancy by the entirety.
A quit claim deed can be used to transfer property or titles. Deeds can be used to transfer property or titles from a grantor (or seller) to a grantee (or buyer). Warranty and limited warranty deeds are usually the most reliable because they offer a “covenant” proving that the land is indeed owned by the grantor.
