Ireland v. Matthews

1 Citing case

  1. West v. Sharpe

    397 S.E.2d 616 (Ga. Ct. App. 1990)

    The administrator alone is empowered to petition for authority to sell realty of a decedent when it is necessary for the payment of debts or for the purpose of distribution. Code Ann. § 113-1706 [now OCGA § 53-8-23]." Ireland v. Matthews, 129 Ga. App. 592 ( 200 S.E.2d 318). Consequently, since respondent in the case sub judice did not petition the probate court for an order to sell the estate realty, the probate court was without authority to order the sale.
