Terms Used In Alabama Code 43-2-683

  • 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.

In the allowance of fees to executors or administrators and their attorneys on final settlement, the court shall take into consideration such fees as may have been allowed and paid to them prior to such final settlement, but such administrators or executors shall be entitled to full credit for any fees allowed and paid on any annual or partial settlement after notice given as provided for in case of final settlements.
