JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Editor's notes.

- In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, decisions under former Code 1873, § 1848 are included in the annotations for this Code section.

Debts due to guardian individually cannot be left to successor.

- Guardian cannot discharge trust by turning over to successor debts due to the guardian individually from successor. Such is the rule, though successor be solvent at time, if, owing to the successor's subsequent insolvency, the ward is injured by settlement. Manning v. Manning, 61 Ga. 137 (1878) (decided under former Code 1873, § 1848); Maynard v. Cleveland, 76 Ga. 52 (1885);(decided under former Code 1882, § 1848).

Order permitting resignation is not judgment that full settlement and accounting have been made. King v. Hughes, 52 Ga. 600 (1874) (decided under former Code 1873, § 1848).
