Virginia practice context

Built around the court and the procedure.

Virginia circuit court clerks admit wills and conduct fiduciary qualification, while the Commissioner of Accounts supervises inventories and accountings. The clerk generates the qualification order, Certificate of Qualification, and bond rather than using a statewide petition, letters, or bond form.
