Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 31-8 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 31-8. Custody, care and education of wards; ward's estate.
Unless a guardian of the person of a minor is appointed by a
parent, the court or the clerk, a guardian of a minor's estate who is appointed
as aforesaid, and gives bond when it is required, shall have the custody of his
ward, except as otherwise provided in §§ 31-1, and 31-2, and
31-15. The guardian of a minor's estate shall have the possession, care,
and management of the minor's estate, real and personal, and, after first
taking into account the minor's other sources of income, support rights and
other reasonably available resources of which the guardian is aware, shall
provide for the minor's health, education, maintenance and support from the
income of such estate and, if income is not sufficient, from the corpus
thereof.
2. That §§ 31-15 through 31-18 of the Code of Virginia are repealed.
