[H 597]

Approved April 5, 1954
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 8-750, as amended, of the Code of Virginia be amended and
reenacted, as follows:
§ 8-750. Whenever there is accruing to any person, adult or infant,
any sum of money from any source, not exceeding one thousand dollars,
or where any person, adult or infant, is entitled to payments under Chap-
ters 5,6,7,8 and 9 of Title 63, the same may be paid into the court of the
county or corporation having jurisdiction in fiduciary matters in which
such fund accrued or arose. Such court may, by an order entered of
record, (1) pay such fund into the hands of such person to whom the same
accrued, if such person be considered by such court competent to expend
and use the same in his behalf, or (2) pay such funds into the hands of
some other person, who is considered competent to administer the same,
for the benefit of such person to whom the same accrued, without the inter-
vention of an administrator, guardian or committee, whether such person
reside within or without this State. The clerk of such court shall take a
receipt from the person to whom such money is paid, which shall show the
source from which the same was derived, the amount, to whom it belongs,
and when and to whom it was paid. Such receipt shall be signed and
acknowledged by the person so receiving such money, and entered of record
in the book in such clerk’s office in which the current fiduciary accounts
are entered and indexed.

After such receipt is so executed and entered of record the person
owing such money shall be discharged of such obligation, as fully as if the
same had been paid to an administrator, guardian or committee.

No bond shall be required of the party to whom such money is paid
by the court.
