A: That is the tax assessor's on line chain of title, which may or may not be correct or complete. Hire a GA attorney to search the title and explain to you the title.

A:
When you see "Estate of" followed by someone's name, this typically means the property is still legally tied to your grandfather's estate during the probate process. The estate remains the official owner until all legal matters are settled.
The "ATTN" (attention) line usually indicates the person who is handling or managing the estate's affairs - this could be the executor, administrator, or legal representative appointed to oversee the estate. They're responsible for managing the property and handling any related matters during probate.
This change in how the property is listed suggests that your grandfather's estate is being actively managed through proper legal channels. You might want to reach out to the person listed in the "ATTN" line, as they should be able to provide more specific information about the property's status and any ongoing probate proceedings. To get complete clarity on the situation, consider contacting the Bartow County tax assessor's office or consulting with your family's probate attorney.
