JOHNSON v. ROGERS., 297 Ga. 413

Summary

HOLDINGS: [1]-Although an adult child of a testator met most of the requirements for virtual adoption, in that she had been raised by the testator as the testator's own, the doctrine of virtual adoption did not apply because the testator had made a will; [2]-Virtual adoption was an equitable remedy and applied only when a parent of the virtual adoptee died intestate; [3]-Virtual adoption could not result in a revocation of the will under O.C.G.A. § 53-4-48(a) because that statute applied only to legal adoptions.
