Code of Virginia - Title 26 Fiduciaries Generally - Section 26-21 Certification and recording of accounts settled in a judicial proceeding

§ 26-21. Certification and recording of accounts settled in a judicial proceeding

When the account of any fiduciary is settled in a judicial proceeding, it shall be the duty of the clerk of the court in which such cause is, as soon as may be after a final order or decree therein, to certify to the clerk of the court wherein the fiduciary qualified, a copy of such account so far as the same has been confirmed, with a memorandum at the foot thereof stating the style of the suit and the date of such final order or decree. The account and memorandum so certified shall be recorded by the clerk to whom it is certified, in the book in which accounts of fiduciaries are required to be recorded under § 26-35, and if in a proceeding subsequent to such final order or decree, by appeal or otherwise, the account shall be reformed or altered, a copy of such reformed or altered account shall in like manner be certified and recorded, together with a memorandum stating the style of the suit and the date of the order or decree of confirmation. When the clerk of the court in which the cause may be is also clerk of the court in which or before whom the fiduciary qualified, he shall make the memoranda and recordations required by this section, and shall for such purpose use the original papers. For making any copy under this section, the clerk shall be entitled to the fees prescribed in like cases, and for recording such account of the fiduciary he shall be entitled to the fees allowed for recording accounts settled ex parte. The fees for copying and recording shall be paid as the court, in which the cause may be, or the judge thereof, shall direct.
