STOLZ, Judge.
Plaintiff, Robert B. Riser, as sole life income beneficiary under a trust established under the last will and testament of the plaintiff's father, Edward Albert Riser, brought an action for damages against Charles D. Livsey and Trust Company of Georgia, alleging that the two defendants, acting individually or in concert, "negligently advised or drafted and caused to be executed the last will and testament of Edward Albert Riser." Defendant Livsey, an attorney, drafted the will in question. Defendant Trust Company was named executor and trustee thereof. The will was executed March 10, 1970. This suit by the plaintiff was filed on November 7, 1974. This appeal is from the grant of each defendant's motion for summary judgment dismissing the suit. Held:
See Riser v. Trust Co. of Ga., 231 Ga. 155 ( 200 S.E.2d 756) for construction of the language in question.
The action against the appellees was properly dismissed as being barred by the four-year statute of limitation. "It is not the special damage or injury resulting from the unskillfulness of an attorney at law in the representation of his client's interests, but the breach of the duty imposed by the contract of employment, which gives a right of action for damages sustained. The statute of limitations [sic] in such a case runs, therefore, from the date of the breach of duty, and not from the time when the extent of the resulting injury is ascertained." Gould v. Palmer Read, 96 Ga. 798 ( 22 S.E. 583). See also Crawford v. Gaulden, 33 Ga. 173 (8); Lilly v. Boyd, 72 Ga. 83, 85; Irvin v. Bentley, 18 Ga. App. 662 ( 90 S.E. 359) and Master Mortg. Corp. v. Byers, 130 Ga. App. 97, 98 ( 202 S.E.2d 566).
Judgment affirmed. Bell, C. J., and Clark, J., concur.
ARGUED APRIL 5, 1976 — DECIDED MAY 12, 1976.
