53-7-96. (Pre-1998 Probate Code) Actions to compel making of title according to terms of bond to make title or of contract for sale of land -- Parties to action; attachment of copy of bond or contract to petition
If an intestate or a testator whose executor is not authorized by the terms of the will to convey land shall, during his life, execute a bond to make title to land or a contract for the sale of land and dies without making title or fulfilling the terms of the contract for the sale of land, the holder of the bond for title or of the contract for the sale of land, after having complied with the conditions or obligations therein, may apply to the judge of the probate court having jurisdiction over the estate for an order requiring the administrator or the executor to make title according to the terms of the bond for title or of the contract. In all such cases he shall attach to his petition a copy of the bond or of the contract.
