Dear Fellow Researchers: Today I received the email from Malinda informing me about SB818 which has passed the Va. State Senate and is in the Va. House of Delegates in the House Committee on Courts of Justice, its civil law subcommittee. I am forwarding the names and email addresses of all the members of House Courts of Justice Committee in case some of you may wish to share your concerns about SB818. The General Assembly adjourns on February 22nd, so action could possibly be taken over the next week or so by the committee. Here is the text of the bill summary found online at the General Assembly website: "SB818 Patron: Sen. Thomas K. Norment. Jr. Summary as passed Senate: Destruction of will files. Allows the clerk to destroy a will's file along with the original will after 5 years have passed since probate or recordation and allows destruction of originals of instruments which have been recorded and remained unretrieved by the recording party after 6 months, if the documents are no longer of any value and have been microfilmed.
