Case Details
By declining to issue a writ of certiorari to the appeal filed in Walden v. Akers, Record No. 150861, the Virginia Supreme Court effectively affirmed the favorable outcome in an estate case decided by the Nelson County Circuit Court. The question raised in the petition for an appeal involved whether certain assets were properly excluded from a decedent’s estate.
Additional Notes
This case dealt with the distinction between executed and executory provisions of a marital agreement following a reconciliation by the spouses and its interplay with Virginia’s elective share and augmented estate statutes.
