152 Ga. 275 | Ga. | 1921
1. Where probate of a will is contested for incapacity of the maker, it is proper to enquire whether the provisions of the will are just and reasonable, and accord with the state of the testator’s family relations, or the contrary. Civil Code (1910), § 3841; Franklin v. Belt, 130 Ga. 37 (60 S. E. 146). In the trial of such issue the source from which the property disposed of by the will came into the decedent’s possession may be shown, as well as the reasonableness of the provisions of the will. Holland v. Bell, 148 Ga. 277 (96 S. E. 419). Accordingly, it was not error to admit in evidence deeds showing that the land in controversy, and devised under the will, formerly belonged to the husband of the testatrix, now one of the caveators, and was conveyed by him to a third party, and subsequently conveyed by such third party to the testatrix.
2. It was not error to allow parol evidence by the husband of the testatrix,
3. The remaining assignments of error are either incomplete and present no question for decision, or do not show cause for the grant of a new trial.
■Judgment affirmed.
