2001 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 64.1-96.11 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 64.1-96.11. International will information registration.
The Secretary of State the Commonwealth shall establish a registry system by
which authorized persons may register in a central information center, information regarding the
execution of international wills, keeping that information in strictest
confidence until the death of the maker and then making it available to any
person desiring information about any will who presents a death certificate or
other satisfactory evidence of the testator's death to the center. Information
that may be received, preserved in confidence until death, and reported as
indicated is limited to the name, social security or any other
individual-identifying number established by law, address, and date and place
of birth of the testator, and the intended place of deposit or safekeeping of
the instrument pending the death of the maker. The Secretary of State the
Commonwealth, at the request of the authorized person, may cause the
information it receives about execution of any international will to be transmitted
to the registry system of another jurisdiction as identified by the testator,
if that other system adheres to rules protecting the confidentiality of the
information similar to those established in this Commonwealth.
