# O.C.G.A. § 9-13-99. Return of claim or illegality against execution from probate court.

Whenever an execution issued from a probate court is levied upon personal property and a claim to the property or an affidavit of illegality is interposed, it shall be the duty of the sheriff or other levying officer to return the same, together with the execution and all the other papers, to the next term of the superior court of the county from which the execution was issued. If the levy has been made upon realty, the execution, with the claim or illegality papers, shall be returned by the levying officer to the next term of the superior court of the county where the land lies and the issue shall be tried as is provided for the trial of claim and illegality cases.
