This message was posted to another list on Thursday but I wanted to make
sure that those on Va-Roots were informed too.
Senate Bill 818, which would have allowed the clerk of court to destroy a
will's file along with the original will after five years have passed, was
defeated on February 19th in the House of Delegates of the Virginia General
Assembly by a vote of 15-Y 81-N.
The Library of Virginia staff will continue to monitor this issue during the
session in the event it should reappear.
