1934Any administration upon the estate of a living person is void; and while it is true that the presumption of death arising from a person’s absence, unheard from for a considerable length of time, may present a prima facie case sufficient to warrant a grant of administration on his estate, the arising of such presumption does not take the case out of the operation of the general rule on the subject, and if it is made to appear that the person was in fact alive at the time such administration was granted, the administration is absolutely void.” Bank of Jonesboro v. Wilson, 43 Ga. App. 839 ( 160 S
