O.C.G.A. 53-2-95 (2010)
53-2-95. (Pre-1998 Probate Code) Distinction between general and specific legacies


Legacies may be either general or specific. A specific legacy is one which operates on property particularly designated. A gift of money to be paid from a specified fund is nevertheless a general legacy.
