JUDICIAL DECISIONS

When burden of proof shifts to caveators.

- Once the propounder of a will establishes a prima facie case, the burden of proof shifts to the caveators to prove the grounds of their caveat. Bryan v. Norton, 245 Ga. 347, 265 S.E.2d 282 (1980).

Law is silent as to any necessity vel non that caveat be sworn; the sole statutory requirement is that it be written. Glad v. Scott, 187 Ga. App. 748, 371 S.E.2d 271 (1988).

Cited in Financial Bldg. Consultants, Inc. v. American Druggists Ins. Co., 91 F.R.D. 62 (N.D. Ga. 1981); Deering v. Keever, 282 Ga. 161, 646 S.E.2d 262 (2007).
