The anti-lapse rule in the Virginia Code prevents a lapse where the named taker is a grandparent or a descendant of a grandparent of the testator. This provision applies only to wills. There is no equivalent provision for trusts.
Heirs/Heirs at Law: the persons who would inherit the decedent's estate if the decedent died intestate, as determined by law at the time of the decedent's death.
Probate is the only legal way to transfer the assets of someone who has died. Without probate, titled assets like homes and cars remain in the deceased's name indefinitely. You won't be able to sell them or keep registrations current because you won't have access to the individual's signature and consent.
Virginia has no separate probate court. The will should be probated in the circuit court in the county or city where the decedent resided at the time of death.
Traditionally, a devise referred to a gift by will of real property. The beneficiary of a devise is called a devisee. In contrast, a bequest referred to a gift by will of personal property or any other property that is not real property.
Probate assets can include vehicles, real estate, bank and brokerage accounts, and personal belongings (for example, jewelry, home furnishings, artwork, and collections). Life insurance proceeds that are payable to the estate (not a named beneficiary) are also probate assets.
Generally, estates cannot realistically close before six months after the decedent's death because the surviving spouse has the right to make her claim for an elective share within that six months.
In Virginia, any estate valued at greater than $50,000 at the time of the owner's passing must go through the probate procedure.
Within 60 days after the hearing, the Commissioner of Accounts will file a report of sufficiently proven debts and demands with the court. Creditors have 15 days from the filing to file exceptions.
In Virginia, you can make a living trust to avoid probate for virtually any asset you ownreal estate, bank accounts, vehicles, and so on. You need to create a trust document (it's similar to a will), naming someone to take over as trustee after your death (called a successor trustee).
