Supreme Court of Georgia December 22, 1905 (Raburn v. Bradshaw)

Eisn, C. J.

1. In the granting of letters of administration, where there is no surviving husband or wife, the next of kin of the intestate at the time of his death, according to the laws declaring relationship and distribution, is entitled to such letters. Civil Code, §3367 (2). In such a case, the law of relationship should not be relied on to the exclusion of that of distribution. Murdock v.
