FAQ
The probate of the will can usually wait until a week or so after the funeral. It is recommended that the initial steps in the estate process start within 30 days after death. If any questions exist, call your attorney or your local Circuit Court Clerk's Office.
The factors that will determine probate and a length of probate will be whether or not there was a testamentary trust, whether there are family disputes or complications, and what level of estate planning was done prior to the death of the decedent.
If there has been no qualification of a personal representative within 30 days following the decedent's death, a list of heirs, made under oath in ance with the form provided to each clerk or a computer-generated facsimile thereof, may be filed by any heir at law of a decedent who died intestate.
Virginia's laws of intestate succession state that when a person dies leaving a spouse and children, one-third of the person's assets pass to the spouse and two-thirds of the person's assets pass to the children. If a person does not have any children, all of the assets pass to the spouse.
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.
The Will must be probated if the decedent owned any real estate that did not pass by survivorship. The probated Will has the same effect as a deed in passing title to a beneficiary under the Will. Probate of a Will solely to pass title to real estate does not require qualification of a Personal Representative.
