§ 64.1-132.3. Effect of affidavit
The person paying, delivering, transferring, or issuing personal property or the evidence thereof pursuant to the affidavit is discharged and released to the same extent as if he dealt with a personal representative of the decedent. He is not required to see to the application of the personal property or evidence thereof or to inquire into the truth of any statement in the affidavit. If any person to whom an affidavit is delivered refuses to pay, deliver, transfer, or issue any personal property or evidence thereof, it may be recovered, or its payment, delivery, transfer, or issuance compelled upon proof of rightful claim in a proceeding brought for the purpose by or on behalf of the person entitled thereto. Any person to whom payment, delivery, transfer or issuance has been made is answerable and accountable therefor to any personal representative of the estate or to any other person having a superior right.
