# O.C.G.A. § 34-9-86. Applicability of time limits to mental incompetents, minors, and persons proceeding against defunct corporations.

No limitation of time provided in this chapter for the giving of notice or making claim shall apply to any person who is mentally incompetent or a minor dependent, as long as he has no guardian or trustee, or to a person who proceeds in good faith against a corporation supposed to have a legal entity but which is proved to be defunct by reason of the expiration of its charter.
