The tenant for life in personalty shall not remove such personalty outside this state without the consent of the remainderman.

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Section strictly construed.

- This statute is for the protection of the rights of remaindermen and reversioners in personal property and should be strictly construed, and the statute's provisions fully complied with. Wallace v. Duncan, 13 Ga. 41 (1853) (see O.C.G.A. § 44-6-89).

Bond lies for delivery of property when removed from state.

- When a life tenant and the tenant's purchaser removed slaves from the state, a bill will lie to make them give bond for the delivery of the property with increase to the remaindermen. Riddle v. Kellum, 8 Ga. 374 (1850).

Ne exeat will be dissolved when there is other relief more appropriate to the case. Hawthorn v. Kelly, 30 Ga. 965 (1860).
