Chap. 208. —An ACT to amend and re-enact section 2644 of the
code of Virginia, in regard to the marriage of a female personal
representative.

Approved February 12, 1892.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia,
That section twenty-six hundred and forty-four of the code
of Virginia, be amended and re-enacted so as to read as
follows:

§ 2644. Where an unmarried woman, who is a personal
representative, either alone or jointly with another, shall
marry, her husband shall not be a personal representative
in her right, but the marriage shall not operate as an ex-
tinguishment of her authority. Whenever such female
personal representative shall marry, the court in which she
qualified shall, on the motion of any surety on her bond
as such, and may on the motion of any other person inter-
ested, or when it shall seem proper to such court, revoke
her powers and authority; and, thereafter, the other per-
sonal representative, if there be any, may proceed in dis-
charging the trust as if she were dead; and, if there be
no other, administration de bonis non (with the will an-
nexed, if there be a will) may be granted by the court.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage. ,
