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 * twenty-five hundred
dollars, or where any person, adult or infant, is entitled to payments
under chapters 5 (§ 63-100 et seq.), 6 (§ 63-115 et seq.), 7 (§ 63-141
et seq.), 8 (§ 63-162 et seq.), and 9 (§ 63-205 et seq.) 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, be 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 be-
half, 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 intervention of an admin-
istrator, 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.
