HB 3181 Richmond, City of; Governor to disclaim state interests to certain escheated parcels therein.

Introduced by: Jennifer L. McClellan | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

City of Richmond escheat verdict.  Authorizes the Governor to disclaim any interest, right or title to certain parcels of property located in the City of Richmond that had been the subject of an escheat proceeding dated December 29, 1989. The verdict of jury resulting from such escheat proceeding was properly filed among the land records of the circuit court although seemingly unrecognized by the former landowners, the City of Richmond, and subsequent purchasers. The bill does not prevent a suit to quiet title or any other judicial remedy available, which a party may pursue on any individual lot or parcel covered by the bill. An instrument of disclaimer, the form of which will be developed by the Attorney General, will be filed among the land records of the City of Richmond.
