An attorney-in-fact or other agent empowered to act under § 11-9.1 shall, on reasonable written request made by a person interested in the welfare of a principal who is believed to be unable to properly attend to his affairs or by a person who was interested in the welfare of a deceased principal who, prior to his death, was believed to be unable to properly attend to his affairs, as set forth in § 37.2-1018, disclose to such person the extent to which he has chosen to act and the actions taken on behalf of the principal within the five years prior to either (i) the date of the request or (ii) the date of the death of the principal, if the principal is deceased at the time such request is made, and shall permit reasonable inspection of records pertaining to such actions by such person unless such disclosure or inspection is specifically prohibited by the terms of the instrument under which he acts. In all cases where the principal is deceased at the time such request is made, such request shall be made within one year after the date of the death of the principal. Any request properly made under this section may be enforced in the manner provided in § 37.2-1018 by petition to the appropriate court having jurisdiction over the principal or the estate of a deceased principal if the request is not complied with by the attorney-in-fact or other agent within 60 days of the date such request is made.
