Chap. 378.—An ACT to amend, extend and re-enact an act approved March 21.
1924, entitled “an act to validate substitutions of trustees under deeds tecorded
in Virginia heretofore made in the courts of Virginia without Sufficient
notice or without any notice to some one or more of the persons interested
in the trusts of such deeds, and to validate acts done by such substituted
trustees. [S B 253]

Approved March 22, 1928

Whereas, trustees have been substituted by proceedings in the
courts of Virginia in place of original trustees under deeds recorded
in Virginia, without sufficient notice or without any notice to some
one or more of the persons interested in the execution of the trusts
of such deeds, and such substituted trustees have performed various
acts on the credit of their substitution, which substitutions and acts
have been relied upon as valid by many persons affected thereby;
and

Whereas, the invalidity of such substitutions and acts would
avoid or unsettle numerous titles to real and personal property
acquired for value and in good faith and would result in great
hardship to the claimants thereof; therefore

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That all
such substitutions and acts heretofore made and done shall be held,
and the same are hereby declared valid and effective in all respects
if otherwise valid according to law then in force; provided, how-
ever, that this act shall not become effective as to any person who,
but for the passage thereof, may have the right to impeach any such
substitution or.any act done by such substituted trustees until after
the lapse of twelve months from the date of the passage of this act.

2. An emergency existing, this act shall be in force from its
passage.
