§ 64.1-149. Validation of certain conveyances by foreign executor.
Every conveyance of real estate within this Commonwealth made prior to June 30,

has been probated according to the laws of another state shall, without the
qualification of the executor in this Commonwealth, be as valid and effectual
to pass the title of such real estate as if the executor named in such will and
making such conveyance had qualified in this Commonwealth, in every case in
which the will under which the executor acted was duly executed according to
the laws of this Commonwealth as a valid will and confers upon the executor the
power to convey the real estate so conveyed and an authenticated copy of such
will has been admitted to probate in this Commonwealth in the county or city in
which the real estate or any part thereof is situated.
§ 64.1-150. When similar conveyances in future valid.
Every such conveyance of real estate within this Commonwealth as is mentioned
in § 64.1-149 made on or after June 30, 1960 1986 , by such
executor shall be likewise valid and effectual to pass the title of such real
estate if the conditions set forth in § 64.1-149 are complied with and in
addition thereto an ancillary administrator upon the estate of such decedent
has been duly appointed and qualified who shall sign and acknowledge the deed
by which such real estate is conveyed.
