Chap. 314.—An ACT to amend and re-enact section 5249 of the Code of Virginia,
as heretofore amended, relating to probate of wills, appointment and qualifi-
cation of appraisers, personal representatives and curators, by clerks and
deputies, and appeals therefrom. [H B 160]
Approved March 29, 1934
1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That section
fifty-two hundred and forty-nine of the Code of Virginia, as heretofore
amended, be amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:
Section 5249. The clerk of any circuit or corporation court, or any
duly qualified deputy of any such clerk, or the clerk of any other court
having jurisdiction of the probate of wills, other than the clerks of the
circuit court and the corporation courts of the city of Richmond, may
appoint appraisers of estates of decedents, admit wills, to probate, ap-
point and qualify executors, administrators and curators of decedents,
and require and take from them the necessary bonds in the same man-
ner and with like effect as the court could do if in session. Such pow-
ers and duties may be exercised and discharged as well during the ses-
sions of the court as at other times.
Such clerk shall keep an order book, in which shall be entered all
orders made by him, or his deputy, respecting the subjects aforesaid.
Any person interested may, within six months after the entering of
such an order, appeal therefrom as a matter of right, without giving
any bond to the court whose clerk, or deputy, has made the order. Upon
application being made for such appeal, the said clerk, or deputy, shall
enter forthwith in his said order book an order allowing such appeal,
and docket the same as a preferred cause for trial at the next term of
the court. The said court, at any term, shall hear and determine the
matter as though it had been presented to the said court in the first
instance, and shall cause a copy of the order on the order book of the
court embracing its final action to be copied by the clerk, or deputy,
into his order book. At any time after such appeal is allowed the
said court, or the judge thereof in vacation, may make any such order
for the protection of the parties interested or for the protection or
preservation of any property involved as might have been made had
the matter been originally presented to the court, or as may seem need-
ful. All wills heretofore admitted to probate by any duly qualified
deputy clerk of any court of competent jurisdiction shall be deemed to
have been properly admitted to probate to the same extent as if the
clerk had acted in the proceeding.
The provisions of this act as amended shall apply only to all wills
probated after this act becomes effective.
