Whenever any question arises under the laws of descent and distribution of this state as to who are entitled to take as heirs at law or as to the quantity of interest heirs at law are entitled to take, the question may be resolved judicially, upon petition to the probate court which has jurisdiction by virtue of a pending administration or which would have jurisdiction in the event of an administration of the estate in process of distribution. Alternatively, the petition may be filed in the superior court of the county wherein the probate court having jurisdiction, as defined in this Code section, is located. The proceedings for the determination of such questions shall conform to the requirements set forth in this article.
