TITLE 44 PROPERTY

Section 5. Acquisition and Loss of Property, 44-5-1 through 44-5-230.

ARTICLE 1 GRANTS FROM STATE

44-5-1. Origin of title to land.

The title to all lands originates in grants from the Government and, since its independence, from the state.

(Orig. Code 1863, § 2322; Code 1868, § 2319; Code 1873, § 2350; Code 1882, § 2350; Civil Code 1895, § 3210; Civil Code 1910, § 3798; Code 1933, § 85-301.)

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

When grant from state introduced, no proof of possession required.

- When a grant from the state is introduced to show origin of title, no proof of possession is required. It is when the chain of title is not connected with a grant from the state that possession in one of the grantors in the chain must be shown. Ryals v. Wilson, 152 Ga. 757, 111 S.E. 414 (1922).
