FAQ
Probating a copy of a will in Virginia requires an additional step – a petition must be be filed in the Circuit Court where the decedent last lived (unless they were in a nursing home, then other rules may apply) asking that the Court accept the copy as the original will.
The will should be probated in the circuit court in the county or city where the decedent resided at the time of death. If the decedent had no known place of residence, the will should be probated where the decedent owned any real estate, or if none, where the decedent died or has any estate.
