WAIVER OF INVENTORY AND SETTLEMENT FOR CERTAIN ESTATES (§ 64.2-1302)

When a decedent&#8217;s personal estate passing by testate or intestate
succession does not exceed $35,000 in value and an heir, beneficiary, or
creditor whose claim exceeds the value of the estate seeks qualification, the
clerk of the circuit court shall waive the inventory under § 64.2-1300 and the
settlement under § 64.2-1206. This section shall not apply if the decedent died
owning any real estate over which the person seeking qualification would have
the power of sale.
