53-7-120. (Pre-1998 Probate Code) Removal of trust to county of residence of administrator or executor generally


(a) Whenever, from any change of residence or other cause, an administrator or executor desires to remove the jurisdiction of his trust from the probate court of the county of the residence of the testator or intestate to that of his own residence, the same may be done by:

(1) Obtaining a copy of all the records of the judge of the probate court relative to his trust and causing the same to be recorded by the judge of the probate court of the county of his residence;

(2) Giving to the judge of the probate court of his county new bond, with good security, for the discharge of his duty as administrator or executor, in the same manner as if the administration were originally granted there; and

(3) Filing with the judge of the probate court of the county having original jurisdiction a certificate, under the seal of the judge of the probate court of the county to which the trust is to be removed, that the foregoing provisions have been complied with.

(b) Upon compliance with subsection (a) of this Code section, the judge of the probate court having jurisdiction shall then pass an order transferring the trust to the judge of the probate court of the other county. Thereupon, the whole trust shall be removed from the one county to the other, so that every question growing out of or affecting the trust shall be heard and tried only in that county to which the trust has been removed.
