CODE OF VIRGINIA

PAYMENT OF BALANCE OF DECEASED PERSON OR PERSON UNDER DISABILITY (§ 6.2-893)

Any bank may pay any balance on deposit to the credit of any deceased person or
of any person under disability, to the personal representative, curator,
conservator, or committee of such person upon a letter of qualification as such
personal representative, curator, conservator or committee, issued by an
appropriate court. The letter shall be sufficient authority for such transfer.
Any such bank making such transfer shall no longer be liable for such deposit to
any person. The presentation of a duly certified letter of qualification as
personal representative, curator, conservator, or committee shall be conclusive
proof of the jurisdiction of the court issuing the same. Payment to a fiduciary
qualified under the law of a state other than the Commonwealth shall be in
accordance with Article 2 (§ 64.2-1426 et seq.) of Chapter 14 of Title 64.2 and
§ 64.2-609.
