Terms Used In Alabama Code 43-2-46
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
When there are contesting applicants for letters testamentary or of administration, no letters must issue until the time for taking an appeal from the judgment thereon has passed; and, if such appeal is taken, no letters in chief must be granted until the appeal is finally disposed of; but a special administrator may be appointed if necessary.
