Georgia Real Estate Foreclosure   Tags: georgia_law, property, real_estate  

On almost any given day in 2007 and 2008, if you opened up a newspaper or logged onto an online news source, you were almost guaranteed to see an article regarding the massive number of foreclosures across the nation. Indeed, every quarter seems to bring about another record number of foreclosures for that quarter, with no sure end in sight as of yet. As a tenant in a house that is on the verge of foreclosure as I prepare this bibliography, the reality of today’s foreclosure rate has a personal bite to it.

This bibliography is intended as a resource for anyone interested in researching real estate foreclosure law and process in the State of Georgia. It is intended to be a gathering of the important and relevant sources of law and information regarding real estate foreclosure law and process in Georgia. This page is a snapshot of materials existing as of April 2008 and will not be updated as the law develops.

The material contained in this research guide was developed in April 2008 for academic purposes. While it is intended to provide a general overview of the foreclosure process in Georgia, it does not constitute legal advice and is not nearly comprehensive. This material was last updated in April 2008 and, as legal materials are frequently updated and changed, should be checked to ensure they are still good law. The materials below do not address all issues that will arise and the researcher should read the full text of the resources cited.

Bibliographies on this Web site were prepared for educational purposes by law students as part of Nancy P. Johnson's Advanced Legal Research course.

Thorough legal research requires a researcher to update materials from date of publication; please note the semester and year the bibliography was prepared.
