Spotsylvania County Clerk of the Circuit Court Guide

Specific fee amounts are not available for this county. 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), an optional local probate tax of up to one-third of the state probate tax amount, plus clerk qualification and recording fees. The Commissioner of Accounts charges separate fees for reviewing the inventory and the accounts. Exact current local probate tax, qualification, and recording amounts were not captured in this pass - verify current local amounts with Spotsylvania Circuit Court and the Spotsylvania Commissioner of Accounts before relying on a figure.
