settlement of Executors Accounts.


To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Please give me the following informa-
ton:
m When n person leaves a will and APP
points his executor, what Is the law as
Ia the settlements made by the executor
before a commissioner? What Is the lee
OF each?
C1 Where can get n Code of the State
laws. and what is the price OF them?
Glory, Va H. a. ~
We could not undertake to answer your
question fully. For information such as
you need SEQ chapter III, page CAS-. OF the
Code Of Virginia Generally speaking,
YOU have to return an inventory OF assets
before a commissioners four months after
your qualification and within four months
after every subsequent accession or sale
of estate. Section 267S provides that a
statement of all money which personal
representative executor or administrator
shall have received or become chargeable
with or disbursed, within one year from
the date of the order comforting his au-
thority, or within any succeeding year, 10
gether with vouchers, be exhibited by him
before the commissioner Of accounts OF
the court wherein the order comforting his
authority was made.
Personal representatives receive a "rea-
sonable compensation" in the form Of
commission. 1t is fixed by usage at per
cent. on actual receipts. circumstance
may occur where it may be more but
rarely.
Commissioners receive such fees as the
court appointing them may from time &c
time prescribe, not exceeding 10 cents
where less than an hour is employed, anc
IL more than an hour not exceeding th'
rate Of 70 cents for each hour.
co We think the Code Of Virginia may
now be bought from the Secretary or the
Commonwealth for s.. He is the officia
charged with the sale of it.
