Personal Representatives in Virginia are required to file an Account for Decedent's Estate within 16 months of qualification. Please call the Clerk's Office Probate Division at (703) 246-4153 for answers to specific procedural questions or to schedule an appointment.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. A small asset includes any bank account, savings institution account, credit union account, brokerage account, security, deposit, tax refund, overpayment, item. I had a similar issue. The Commissioner, the surviving spouse, the named beneficiaries in the will, and all of the heirs at law receive a copy of the account. This generally includes any post death activity on all bank, credit union and stock brokerage accounts. After you pass away, the beneficiaries listed on these accounts will receive the proceeds directly, without court involvement. We'll communicate and work with you on what's needed for handling our deceased client's specific banking relationship.
