FAQ
In Virginia, an estate will need to be probated when a person dies with property valued at more than $50,000. So, to avoid probate, you must either have a very small estate or take steps to ensure that your assets transfer automatically to beneficiaries.
Common non-probate assets include: Life insurance proceeds or pension benefits payable to a named beneficiary. Assets such as a home owned with someone else in joint tenancy or tenancy by the entirety. Assets with a listed beneficiary outside of the deceased person's will such as an IRA or payable-on-death bank account.
Surrogate's Court Procedure Act § 707 states that a nominated executor is ineligible to serve it if they are: (a) an infant; (b) an incompetent or incapacitated person as determined by the Court; (c) a non-citizen or non-permanent resident of the United States; (d) a felon; and (e) one who does not possess the ...
Petition the Courts – If there is no clause for the removal of the executor, an interested party may hire an attorney and petition the local Virginia court. All interested parties (i.e. beneficiaries and executor) must be noticed of this action.
One way is to execute and fund a trust. If all of your assets are in a trust, they will pass through your trust instead of undergoing the probate process. Another way to avoid probate is to add beneficiary designations or “transfer on death” or “payable on death” designations on your bank accounts and other assets.
There is no requirement to probate a Will and qualify as an Executor. However, you may not secrete or purposefully hide a Will. In determining whether to probate a Will and qualify as a Personal Representative, you should consider the title, value and nature of the assets.
In Virginia, any estate valued at greater than $50,000 at the time of the owner's passing must go through the probate procedure.
Closing an Estate in Virginia In order for the Commissioner of Accounts to allow an estate to be closed, the personal representative must produce a Final Account of the estate. The Final Account must show: All assets have been distributed to the beneficiaries and the balance of the account is zero.
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.
