NOTE: The Compiler has changed the reference from the Code of Civil Procedure to Title 7 of this Code (the GCA) to conform to the new code structure. It is possible that, at the time this section was adopted, the reference also meant to refer to probate matters. In any event, the subject of Estates and Probate is now found in Title 15 of this Code (GCA).
