Title 53, Chapter 7, Section 69
( 53-7-69)
A testator may, by will, dispense with the necessity of the personal
representative's filing an annual return with the probate court or
the beneficiaries or both, provided the same does not work any
injury to creditors or persons other than beneficiaries under the
will. If a will was executed in another state and the will is valid
in this state and under the laws of the state where the will was
executed the personal representative would not have been required to
file annual returns or if the will otherwise expresses an intent to
relieve the personal representative from all reporting requirements,
such a will shall be construed as dispensing with the necessity of
annual returns in Georgia, provided the same does not work any
injury to creditors or parties other than beneficiaries under the
will. In all wills, regardless of the date of execution, relief
from filing returns with the court shall also relieve the personal
representative from sending a copy of the return to the
beneficiaries. |
