CHAP. 165.—An ACT to validate substitutions of trustees under deeds recorded

‘Approved March 17, 1938

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 : os
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

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, however,
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 substi-
tution or any act done by such substituted trustee until after the lapse
of twelve months from the date of the passage of this act.
