Rachel R. Shoenthal et al.. v. Fran W. Shoenthal et al..

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The Georgia Court of Appeals held that because Judge Shoenthal failed to provide written notice as required by the Pension Code, the trial court correctly determined that the change in beneficiaries was not legally effective. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed this decision, ruling that the plaintiffs could not show the decedent did all he could do to effectuate the change.
