Probate in Virginia
Virginia reviews personal representative compensation through a Commissioner of Accounts, using local guidelines rather than a statutory percentage, and adds attorney fees, clerk fees and a state probate tax. Small estates can use an affidavit for personal property after a 60-day wait. The Commissioner of Accounts process drives the timeline, and there is no automatic creditor claim deadline.
Personal Injury in Virginia
Virginia gives two years for injury claims, but five years for property damage. It is one of only five jurisdictions where any fault at all, even 1%, can bar recovery entirely, unless a narrow exception applies. There is no general damage cap, medical malpractice carries a cap and attorney fees face only Rule 1.5 reasonableness.
Family Law in Virginia
Virginia calculates child support with a schedule that runs up to a high income ceiling, a shared custody formula for more than 90 days and a minimum order. There is no alimony formula; the court weighs thirteen factors, including fault, and may reserve support. Marital property is classified, jointly owned marital property is divided and a monetary award is granted on eleven factors. A divorce requires six months of residence before filing and one year apart, or six months with an agreement and no children.
