When
an order for the payment of the sums demanded in the petition has been granted
and published or served as provided in Code Section 44-14-120, the maker of the
deed sought to be enforced or his special agent or attorney may appear on or
before the first day of the term of the court at which the money is directed to
be paid and file his objection to the enforcement of the deed and may set up and
avail himself of any defense which he might lawfully set up in an ordinary
action on the debts or demands secured by the deed and which defense shows that
the petitioner is not entitled to enforce the demands or debts or that the
amounts claimed are not due; provided, however, the facts of the defense shall
be verified by the affidavit of the maker of the deed or his special agent or
attorney at the time of filing the defense.
