Oakley v. Anderson
Supreme Court of Georgia
Decided November 24, 1975No. 30370PublishedCited by 8 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
Hall, Justice.
The sole issue before the court in this injunction suit is whether the probate in solemn form of the will of Emily Stevenson Feely should be set aside for the reason that the heirs-at-láw of testatrix were not properly served in the probate proceeding as required by Code Ann. §§ 113-602 and 113-607. Under those sections, heirs-at-law are entitled to personal service "if the party resides in the State, and is known” (Code Ann. § 113-607); and, failing proper service, an heir-at-law is not bound by an order of solemn form probate. Souter v. Carnes, 229 Ga. 220 (190 SE2d 69)…
