§ 64.1-102. This chapter shall not apply in the case of wills or living
trusts * wherein provision * is made for distribution of property different
from the distribution that would be made under the provisions of this
chapter, or in the case of deeds creating a joint tenancy or a tenancy by
the entirety where any such deed or the will of any cotenant makes specific
provision for distribution of property different from the distribution that
would be made under the provisions of this chapter and in favor of
another cotenant, or in the case of contracts of insurance where either
such contract or the will of the insured makes provisions for distribution
of the proceeds different from the distribution that would be made under
the provisions of this chapter provided that, if an insurance company
makes payment to any beneficiary designated in an insurance contract in
accordance with § 64.1-100 without actual knowledge of such provision in
the will of the insured, such insurance company shall not be liable to any
person therefor, but the insured’s personal representative may recover
from such payee the full amount of such proceeds.
