O.C.G.A. 53-7-9 (2010)
53-7-9. (Pre-1998 Probate Code) Rights and duties of administrator or executor as to contracts made by decedent

The administrator or executor, as far as possible, shall fulfill the executory and comply with the executed contracts of the decedent, and he shall have a corresponding right to demand the same of the parties contracted with. If, however, the personal skill of the decedent entered into the consideration of the contract, his death renders the execution impossible, and the contract, though entire, shall be considered as divisible and closed at his death; in this case, the partial execution by the decedent shall authorize and require a corresponding compliance by the other contracting party.
