Georgia Court of Appeals

Worthwhile Investments, LLC et al.. v. Terry Higgins

A16A0195 April 28, 2016 Reversed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue was whether a security deed holder's right to excess tax sale funds is affected by a subsequent property title reversion date under OCGA § 44-14-80. The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's ruling, holding that an interest in the property existing at the time of the tax sale entitles the interested party to the excess funds.
