Virginia Estate Law guides

All law guides →

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Asset Protection Planning in Virginia
Virginia asset protection involves layering — exemption planning, business entities, retirement accounts, and (for some) Domestic Asset Protection Trusts (DAPTs) in DAPT-friendly states.
Blended Family Estate Planning in Virginia
Virginia blended families need careful estate planning to avoid disinheriting biological children when surviving spouse remarries — QTIP trusts, life insurance, and specific structures address the conflict.
Business Succession Planning in Virginia
Virginia business succession requires coordinated estate + business planning — buy-sell agreements, life insurance funding, key-person insurance, and gradual transition plans. Without it, families lose businesses to taxes, disputes, or chaos.
Charitable Trusts in Virginia
Virginia charitable trusts combine philanthropy with tax planning. Charitable Remainder Trusts (CRTs) and Charitable Lead Trusts (CLTs) provide income / estate / gift tax benefits.
Digital-Asset Estate Planning in Virginia
Virginia digital-asset planning is governed by RUFADAA (adopted in 48 states) — fiduciaries can access digital accounts only if user explicitly consented. Without planning, families lose access to email, photos, crypto, and online accounts.
Spouse's Elective Share in Virginia
Virginia elective share: 1/3 (with children) or 1/2 (no children) — modified UPC.
Estate-Tax Planning in Virginia
Virginia estates may face federal estate tax (40% above ~$13.99M / individual in 2025) plus state estate or inheritance tax — most estates use lifetime gifting + trusts to minimize tax.
Guardianship and Conservatorship in Virginia
Virginia guardianship cases — for minors, incapacitated adults, or both — are heard in Circuit Court. Process requires petition, evaluation, hearing, ongoing reporting.
Healthcare Directives in Virginia
Virginia healthcare directives: Advance Medical Directive (Living Will + Healthcare POA combined).
Heirs' Property in Virginia
Virginia heirs' property — land passed without a will or proper estate planning, owned by multiple heirs as tenants-in-common — has caused significant land loss in Black + low-income families. UPHPA partition reform helps.
Intestate Succession in Virginia: What Happens If You Die Without a Will
If you die in Virginia without a will, the state's intestate succession law decides who gets what — not you. Spouse takes the entire estate if all kids are joint.
Living Trusts in Virginia
A revocable living trust avoids probate, maintains privacy, and lets you control how your assets pass at death. Estates over $50K personal property typically benefit most.
