Terms Used In Alabama Code 43-2-507

  • Affidavit: A written statement of facts confirmed by the oath of the party making it, before a notary or officer having authority to administer oaths.
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
  • Executor: A male person named in a will to carry out the decedent
  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.

On the day appointed or any other day to which the settlement is continued, the court must proceed to examine and audit the account; and, on such auditing, the executor or administrator must produce satisfactory proof of the correctness of each item on the credit side of the account which may be made by the affidavit or oral examination of witnesses or by any other legal evidence.
