O.C.G.A. 53-7-47 (2010)
53-7-47. (Pre-1998 Probate Code) Action on bond on return of nulla bona on execution for liability of decedent; judgment against principal and sureties; judgment against sureties alone

Upon the rendition of a judgment against an executor or administrator upon any liability of the decedent and a return of the writ of execution marked nulla bona, the plaintiff may at once bring an action on the bond of the executor or administrator and may recover judgment against the principal and his sureties in the same action. If the principal has removed beyond the limits of this state or has died and has no legal representative, the plaintiff may bring an action against the sureties on his bond alone, without joining the principal.
