                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

SPECIAL COMMISSIONER OR OTHER PERSON APPOINTED TO DO SO TO RECEIVE PURCHASE
MONEY, ETC.; LIABILITY OF CLERK FOR FAILURE TO GIVE NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT (§
8.01-103)

The special commissioner, who makes the sale or renting, shall receive and
collect all the purchase money or rent, unless some other person be appointed to
collect the same and in such case the court shall require of such person bond
with surety in such penalty as to it may seem fit. When such appointment is
made, it shall be the duty of the clerk to give notice thereof, in writing, to
the purchaser or lessee, to be served as other notices are required by law to be
served; but no payment shall be made to the person so appointed, until he shall
have given the bond required by the decree or order; provided, however, that if,
before the purchaser or lessee has received notice of such appointment, he shall
have made any payment on account of the purchase money or rent to the special
commissioner, or any person appointed for the purpose, who made the sale or
renting, such special commissioner, or other person, who made the sale or
renting, and the sureties on his bond, shall be responsible for the money so
paid, and the purchaser or lessee, who made the payment, shall not be
responsible therefor.
		If any clerk fail to give the notice hereinbefore required to be given by him,
he and the sureties on his official bond shall be liable to any person injured
by such failure.
