Georgia Code
Part 1 - In General
§ 44-13-15. How Cash Exempted; Investment in Personalty

When any person applies for an exemption of personalty and the personalty sought to be exempted consists of cash in whole or in part, before the cash shall be allowed as an exemption, it shall, under the direction of the judge of the probate court, be invested in such articles of personal property as the applicant may desire; when so invested and returned by schedule with or without other property as required by this article, such property shall constitute the exemption of personalty. In no case shall the allowance of cash without such investment be a valid exemption.
