O.C.G.A. 53-7-1 (2010)
53-7-1. (Pre-1998 Probate Code) Powers of executor upon probate in common form prior to recordation and qualification; bond


As soon as the probate of a will is made in common form, before the will is admitted to record, and before his qualification, the executor named in a will may exercise all the powers of a temporary administrator as to collecting and preserving the estate. If a caveat is filed to the record of the will, pending the investigation of the caveat, even though the executor may have been qualified on proof in common form, the judge of the probate court, in his discretion, may require of him a bond as temporary administrator of the estate.
