JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Title reverted to grantor after seven years causing grantee to lose security interest.

- Because a security deed did not specify a fixed period for repayment or state that the security interest was perpetual under O.C.G.A. § 44-14-80(a), title to the property reverted to the grantor after seven years and the grantee's security interest in the property was lost.
