64.2-1302. Waiver of inventory and settlement for certain estates
When a decedent's personal estate passing by testate or intestate succession does not exceed $35,000 in value and an heir, beneficiary, or creditor whose claim exceeds the value of the estate seeks qualification, the clerk of the circuit court shall waive the inventory under § 64.2-1300 and the settlement under § 64.2-1206. This section shall not apply if the decedent died owning any real estate over which the person seeking qualification would have the power of sale.
