Dinwiddie County Clerk of the Circuit Court Guide

At qualification the Clerk collects a Virginia state probate tax of about 10 cents per $100 of estate value (the county's instructions state $1.00 per $1,000) (estates of $15,000 or less are exempt) (Va. Code 58.1-1712), plus clerk qualification and recording fees. Dinwiddie County's official Probate/Qualification Instructions state that there is currently no local probate tax in Dinwiddie County and that qualification fees range from about $20 to $100 depending on the estate type. The Commissioner of Accounts charges separate fees for reviewing the inventory and the accounts. Exact current qualification, recording, and Commissioner fee amounts were not captured in this pass - verify current amounts with Dinwiddie Circuit Court and the Dinwiddie Commissioner of Accounts before relying on a figure.
