Custody Battle Over Pretty Georgia Hyatt Sparks Probate Dispute
In a clash between the Board of Children's Guardians and Circuit Court Probate Commissioner Merle N A Walker, the custody of Georgia Hyatt an 11 or 12 year old girl is under dispute. Guardians seek adoption to a family while Walker weighs who should be guardian, with the child’s mother resisting and a new guardian appointed for the moment. The case involves alleged property claims from funds used on the child’s father’s death and a potential third of a future property interest, while the guardians argue no property exists for guardianship.
