The Superior Court, Georgia's general jurisdiction trial court, has exclusive constitutional authority over felony
cases, cases regarding title to land and equity, declaratory judgments, habeas corpus, mandamus, adoptions, name
changes, divorces, child custody, and child support enforcement. The clerk is responsible for recording deeds and
maintaining the chain of title to all property in the county.
Lands were given to Georgia citizens by lotteries from in 1805, 1807, 1820, 1821, 1827, 1832, 1832 (Gold), 1833.
Where Georgians sold lots won in these lotteries, researchers will find that deeds may be valuable sources of genealogical
information. Those deeds should have been recorded in the counties where the land was located, but in some cases
references may be found in the counties where the owner resided. Land transaction between private individuals are
recorded with the clerk of superior court in the appropriate county.
