Supreme Court of Georgia.

Decided March 14, 1955.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

D. D. Veal, for plaintiffs in error.

R. C. Whitman, Hoyt H. Whelchel, Whitman & Whitman, Whelchel & Whelchel, contra.


DUCKWORTH, Chief Justice.

The evidence introduced by the propounders showed the factum of the will, that at the time of its execution the testatrix apparently had sufficient mental capacity to understand what she was doing, and that she acted freely and voluntarily in executing the same. This evidence made a prima facie case in favor of probate, and the burden then shifted to the caveators to overcome this evidence with proof of the grounds of their caveat.
