Georgia Repossession Laws

With our Georgia clients in consideration, MLS has put together the free resource below, which includes most needed repossession rules relating to the state’s property recovery process.

To be more specific, in order for repossession to happen in Georgia, it is vital for you to know that the security interests will have to appear on the property title with the lienholder. Also to note, the license plates of the vehicle need to remain on it. Not to forget, repossession is only permitted if the peace is kept in the process of doing so. In addition, the registration data, can be found with the Georgia Motor Vehicle Division at (404) 362-6500. Furthermore, the title, copy of contract, bill of sale and affidavit of repossession must be presented for liquidation to take place.
