Virginia Probate: Loudoun County Rules

Virginia probate law uses a tax-based threshold for most estates.

  1. Probate Tax: In Virginia, an estate tax of $1.33 per $1,000 of value is imposed on estates exceeding $15,000.
  2. Small Estate ($50,000): If the total value of personal assets (not including the house) is $50,000 or less, you may be able to use a Small Estate Affidavit to avoid formal probate for those specific assets.
  3. The Qualification Appointment: You must schedule an appointment with the Probate Division to “qualify” as the executor. During this meeting, you will be required to give a “bond,” which acts as insurance for the estate.
