Supreme Court of Georgia

Hobbs v. Winfield

September 13, 2017

Summary

The Court affirmed the probate court’s determination that the testator’s will was revoked because it did not clearly contemplate the birth of future children. A reference to dependents and government survivor benefits did not expressly provide for, or disinherit, after-born children. The Court also held that the court-appointed administrator timely filed the caveat and had standing to contest the will.
