Impeachment of grants; grounds; effect of irregularities or misnomer

Grants may be impeached before the courts where they are: (1) Void upon their face; (2) Issued without authority of law or against a prohibition in a law; or (3) Issued for property to which the state had no title. However, mere irregularities in the proceedings to obtain grants shall not be inquired into nor may a mistake in the name of the grantee be proved by parol. (Ga. L. 1857, p. 58, § 1; Code 1863, § 2333; Code 1868, § 2330; 382 44-5-13 Code 1873, § 2361; Code 1882, § 2361; Civil Code 1895, § 3220; Civil Code 1910, § 3808; Code 1933, § 85-311.)
