Real Property

This Article surveys case law and legislative developments in the area of real property law in Georgia during the period from June 1, 1998, to May 31, 1999. As in past surveys, the authors do not attempt to chronicle each case and statute that affects real property law. Rather, the authors selected the decisions and statutes discussed in this Article for their significance and interest to participants in the everyday practice of real estate law in this state. Several cases decided during the survey period present issues on which the appellate courts were sharply divided and provide lively discussions of the judges' differing viewpoints.
