CHAPTER 265 An Act to amend and reenact § 64.1-75.1 of the Code of Virginia, relating to the appointment of an administrator for the prosecution of a personal injury or wrongful death action against or on behalf of an estate. [H 2516] Approved March 16, 2003

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 or on behalf of 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 or on behalf of the estate or the beneficiaries of the estate of a resident or nonresident of this Commonwealth who has died within or without this Commonwealth and 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.
