TITLE 53 WILLS, TRUSTS, AND ADMINISTRATION OF ESTATES

Section 9. Missing Persons and Persons Believed to be Dead, 53-9-1 through 53-9-21.

ARTICLE 2 CONSERVATORS

53-9-13. Procedure on petition; laws applicable to, and oath and bond of, conservator.

  1. Upon the filing of the petition, the procedure shall be the same as in petitions for the administration on the estates of decedents, with the individuals who would be the heirs of the missing individual if the missing individual were dead being treated as the heirs of the missing individual.
  2. The laws applicable to the administration of estates shall apply to the conservators of missing individuals except insofar as such laws may conflict with this article.
  3. Upon appointment, the conservator shall subscribe an oath as in the case of an administrator and shall give such bond as is required by law of guardians.

(Code 1981, §53-9-13, enacted by Ga. L. 1996, p. 504, § 10.)

COMMENT

This section carries forward former OCGA Secs. 53-9-22, 53-9-23, and 53-9-42 and requires conservators to give the same bond that is required of guardians.
