George Dodd paid funeral expenses after his brother’s death and sued the estate for reimbursement under Georgia’s statute governing claims against an estate. After years of litigation, the superior court dismissed the case at trial, concluding that exclusive jurisdiction belonged in the probate court because the estate was still pending in another county. The Court of Appeals agreed that the superior court lacked jurisdiction but held that dismissal was the wrong remedy. When a civil case belongs in another Georgia court, the proper action is transfer to the court with jurisdiction if that court can provide a complete and adequate remedy. The appellate court vacated the dismissal and directed the superior court to transfer the case to the probate court of Cobb County. The ruling preserves the claim for consideration in the proper forum and clarifies the difference between lack of jurisdiction and dismissal when an intra-state transfer is available.
