O.C.G.A. 53-7-30 (2010)
53-7-30. (Pre-1998 Probate Code) Administrators' bond and security -- Amount; payee; condition as to faithful discharge of duties; sufficiency of substantial compliance; law governing executor's bond applicable


(a) Every administrator, except an administrator with the will annexed, shall upon his qualification give bond, with good and sufficient security, to be judged by the judge of the probate court, in a sum equal to double the amount of the estate to be administered. The bond shall be payable to the judge for the benefit of all concerned, shall be attested by him or his clerk, and shall be conditioned for the faithful discharge of the administrator's duty as such, as required by law. A substantial compliance with these requisites for the bond shall be deemed sufficient; and no administrator's bond shall be declared invalid by reason of any variation therefrom as to payee, amount, or condition, where the manifest intention was to give bond as administrator and a breach of his duty as such has been proved.

(b) The rules of law governing the bond of an executor shall be applicable in the case of an administrator with the will annexed.
