O.C.G.A. 53-2-42 (2010)
53-2-42. (Pre-1998 Probate Code) Knowledge of contents of will by testator; proof


Knowledge of the contents by the testator is necessary to the validity of a will. If the testator can read and write, his signature or the acknowledgment of his signature is usually sufficient to show such knowledge. However, if the scrivener or his immediate relations are large beneficiaries under the will, greater proof shall be necessary to show a knowledge of the contents by the testator.
