This is only an abstract thought, but I wonder if he would recuse himself on his own because he can not be impartial or if he were asked to recuse / disqualify himself per:

GEORGIA UNIFORM RULES FOR THE PROBATE COURT

Rule 19. Recusal.
19.1. Motions

All motions to recuse or disqualify a judge presiding in a particular case or proceeding shall be in writing, accompanied by an affidavit asserting the facts upon which the motion is founded, and timely filed. Filing and presentation to the judge shall be not later than 5 days after the affiant first learned of the alleged grounds for disqualification, and not later than 10 days prior to the hearing or trial which is the subject of recusal or disqualification, unless good cause be shown for failure to meet such time requirements. In no event shall the motion be allowed to delay the trial or proceeding.

I believe he is recusing on his own. I do not believe there is any motion for recusal.
