1. “A landowner in rural Georgia may apply to the local probate court to have his land resurveyed and its lines re-marked by the duly appointed processioners of the district. OCGA § 44-4-2. The county surveyor and the processioners bear the obligation of arriving at the true lines and tracing out and plainly marking same. OCGA§ 44-4-3. The surveyor makes out and certifies a plat of the true lines. Id. The processioners file the surveyor’s plat and a return of their acts with the probate court. OCGA§ 44-4-4. In all boundary disputes, the surveyor’s certified plat and the lines so marked “shall be prima facie correct; and the certified plat shall be admissible in evidence without further proof.” OCGA § 44-4-3. Landowners dissatisfied with the lines run and marked by the processioners and by the surveyor have 30 days after the return is filed to file a protest with the probate court, which court will then forward the material to the superior court for a trial and adjudication. OCGA § 44-4-9.”
