§ 64.1-113. Revocation of determination of death, etc.; effect on previous acts; title of purchasers, et...
The court, after reasonable notice to the parties interested, may revoke such determination of death at any time on due and satisfactory evidence that the supposed decedent is in fact alive. After such revocation all powers of any personal representative shall cease, but all receipts and disbursements of assets and other acts previously done by him and the title of bona fide purchasers to property under sales made by him or by the heir at law, devisee, next of kin, legatee, survivor, beneficiary, or other successor in interest if such person shall have complied with § 64.1-112, shall remain as valid as if no revocation had been made. Any personal representative shall settle his account and all assets remaining in his hands or in the hands of such heir at law, devisee, next of kin, legatee, survivor, beneficiary, or other successor in interest and the proceeds thereof shall be transferred to the owner thereof determined to be dead or to his duly authorized agent or attorney. Nothing in this section shall validate the title of any person to any money or property received as heir at law, devisee, next of kin, legatee, survivor, beneficiary, or other successor in interest of such supposed decedent, but the same may be recovered from them in like manner as if such order had not been granted.
