FAILURE TO ACCOUNT; ENFORCEMENT (§ 64.2-1216)

A. If any fiduciary required to account fails to make a complete and proper
account within the time allowed, the commissioner of accounts shall either (i)
proceed against the fiduciary in accordance with the procedures set forth in
&#xA7; 64.2-1215 or (ii) file with the circuit court and the clerk at such times
as the court shall order, but not less than twice a year, a list of all
fiduciaries who have failed to make a complete and proper account within the
time allowed, excepting those fiduciaries to whom the commissioner of accounts
has granted additional time. Upon the filing of this list, the clerk shall issue
a summons against each fiduciary on the list, returnable to the first day of the
next term of court, and the court shall take action against the fiduciary in
accordance with the procedures set forth in &#xA7; 64.2-1215.

B. Every commissioner of accounts shall file with the court and the clerk at
such times as the court shall order, but not less than quarterly, a list of all
fiduciaries whose accounts for any reason have been before the commissioner of
accounts for more than five months. The commissioner of accounts shall note on
the list the fiduciaries who are deemed delinquent.

C. Whenever the commissioner of accounts reports to the court that a fiduciary
who is an attorney-at-law licensed to practice in the Commonwealth has failed to
make the required settlement within 30 days after the date of service of a
summons, the commissioner of accounts shall also mail a copy of his report to
the Virginia State Bar.
