Notary Requirements Virginia law does not require that a revocable trust agreement be notarized. In Virginia, the settlor's signature on a revocable trust agreement is often notarized, even though it is not required, especially if the trust may contain real property (see Question 7).
The trustee may only terminate the trust after providing notice of the intended termination to the beneficiaries. This method only allows for termination of the trust, not modification. Upon termination, the trustee must distribute the trust property in a manner consistent with the trust's purposes.
A letter of instruction is a cheat sheet for anyone involved in settling your affairs. Unlike a will, this letter has no legal authority. However, it can provide an easy-to-understand explanation of your overall estate plan to your executor and lay out your wishes to your family for things not covered by the will.
A person can expect for the probate process in Virginia to take anywhere from six months up to a year or more. Generally, there is a creditor period, so an estate cannot be completely distributed and closed prior to the expiration of the six-month period.
Example: Dear Beneficiary's Name, I am Your Name, the executor of the estate of Deceased Person's Full Name, who passed away on Date of Death. I am writing to inform you about the distribution of the estate's assets.
