O.C.G.A. 53-7-146 (2010)
53-7-146. (Pre-1998 Probate Code) Grant of letters of dismission without administration of reversionary interest in dower lands; appointment of administrator de bonis non

Whenever an administrator or executor has fully administered the estate, except for the reversionary interest in the land set apart as dower, and it is not necessary to administer the same to pay debts, the administrator or executor shall be entitled to letters of dismission upon complying with the provisions of law regulating the granting of the letters. When letters of dismission have been granted, an administrator de bonis non may be appointed to administer any property in which a dower interest was granted, without setting aside the letters. Any heir of the original decedent or any creditors of the decedent's estate may be appointed as administrator de bonis non.
