2001 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 64.1-75.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 64.1-75.1. Appointment of administrator for prosecution of action for personal injury or wrongful death against estate of deceased resident or nonresident.
In any case in which it is represented that an action at law for personal
injury or death by wrongful act upon a cause of action arising within this
Commonwealth is contemplated against the estate of a person resident or
nonresident of this Commonwealth who has died within or without this
Commonwealth and who was a nonresident of this Commonwealth, for whose estate
an executor has not been appointed, an administrator of such person may be
appointed, solely for the purpose of prosecution of said suit, by the clerk of the
court having jurisdiction for the probate of wills in the county or city in which
jurisdiction and venue would have been properly laid for such action in the
same manner as if the person for whom the appointment thereof is sought had
survived.
