Step by step

Write the notice with every required element (the Georgia template in Cortul already has them).
Verify the recipient's mailing address with USPS.
Serve it the way Georgia law requires (posting at the property); mail alone doesn't serve it. Record the service in Cortul, which also mails a First-Class copy.
Keep the mailing and tracking records, and your own record of any service you did yourself.
Calendar the deadline from the mailing date.
