Georgia Court of Appeals

In Re: Estate Of: James Lynn Hill

A16A1948 December 30, 2016 Reversed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue was whether a caveat to a will filed late could be dismissed by the probate court when the executrix had waived her right to assert default judgment. The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the superior court's decision, holding that the executrix waived her right to default judgment due to her conduct.
