City of Fredericksburg 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 (estates of $15,000 or less are exempt) (Va. Code 58.1-1712), plus clerk qualification and recording fees. The official Fredericksburg Wills and Probate page states the City of Fredericksburg does not impose the optional local probate tax. The Commissioner of Accounts charges separate fees for reviewing the inventory and the accounts. Exact current qualification and recording amounts were not captured in this pass - verify current amounts with Fredericksburg Circuit Court and the Commissioner of Accounts before relying on a figure.
