2006 Georgia Code - 44-2-13
44-2-13. (a) When the creation of a new county or a
change in county lines causes land to be included in a different
county than that in which it was situated at the time of the
recording of a deed, mortgage, or other lien therein, any holder of
such a deed, mortgage, or other lien may have such instrument
rerecorded in the office of the clerk of the superior court of the
county in which the land is newly situated. If the original of such
deed, mortgage, or other lien is lost, a certified copy thereof
from the record where the same was recorded may in like manner be
rerecorded in the county in which the land affected is newly
situated. Upon payment of the recording fees, it shall be the duty
of the clerk of the superior court of the county where the
instrument is rerecorded to cause the deed, mortgage, or other lien
to be entered upon the proper records for such papers; and the
clerk shall note on the record book the date of the original
recording and the book and page or pages upon which the deed or
mortgage or other lien was originally recorded. (b) The rerecording of a deed, mortgage, or
other lien pursuant to subsection (a) of this Code section shall
not affect the validity of the original record as notice.
