Terms Used In Alabama Code 43-2-600
- Decedent: A deceased person.
- Probate: Proving a will
- 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 settlement of the estate of a decedent, when such estate is free from debt, the probate court in which such settlement may be pending has authority to refer all matters of controversy arising in such settlement to arbitration, if, in the opinion of the court, the interests of the parties can be best subserved thereby and the parties, or their attorneys, consent thereto.
