Terms Used In Alabama Code 26-8-24

  • Probate: Proving a will
  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.
  • Transcript: A written, word-for-word record of what was said, either in a proceeding such as a trial or during some other conversation, as in a transcript of a hearing or oral deposition.

On the filing of such transcript, the court must require the conservator of its appointment to make a final settlement of his or her conservatorship; and when such settlement is made, the court must certify a transcript thereof to the court of probate of the county to which the removal was authorized.
