Georgia dispossessory — the eviction lawsuit, named correctly
In Georgia the eviction case is a dispossessory. EvictIQ is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We prepare the affidavit from the lease and ledger, file in the magistrate court of the property's county, and hand off to process serving. Licensed attorneys in our attorney network are coordinated when the file requires counsel.

EvictIQ is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. A dispossessory is the case. A notice is not. A lock change is not.
The Georgia name for the lawsuit
Owners search dispossessory, dispossessory warrant, and eviction filing for the same step: the magistrate-court case after a demand. This lander is that filing. The catalog pages are dispossessory filing support and eviction filing assistance.
When you need this
Use this when the demand period has run and you need the case on the docket. If nothing has been demanded, start on demand for possession. If an answer is in, you may also need attorney coordination.
The next step
Send the county and standing (owner or authorized agent). A coordinator sends a secure upload link for the lease and ledger. Courts set their own schedules.

Common questions
Is a dispossessory the same as an eviction notice?
No. The notice is the demand. The dispossessory is the case filed in magistrate court after the demand period has run.
Do you appear as counsel on the dispossessory?
No. EvictIQ is not a law firm. Where the matter requires counsel, we coordinate licensed attorneys in our attorney network.
What we'll need eventually

- A coordinator reviews it, usually the same business day.
- You get a written scope and price before anything is filed.
