In Virginia a landlord must give a 14-day pay-or-quit notice for unpaid rent, a 30-day notice with 21 days to remedy for a lease violation, and 30 days' written notice before the next rent due date to end a month-to-month tenancy.
A Virginia will must be signed or acknowledged before two competent witnesses present at the same time unless it is wholly in the testator's handwriting, and it can be made self-proved with witness affidavits.
Virginia requires only the principal's signature on a power of attorney, while notarization is optional but makes the signature presumed genuine.
A Virginia written advance directive must be signed by the declarant in the presence of two adult witnesses; notarization is not required.
Virginia transfers ownership on the assigned title, and proof of the purchase price can be a bill of sale, a Vehicle Price Certification or the seller's declared sale price.
Virginia clerks record a deed when it has been acknowledged (or proved by two witnesses), and a state recordation tax applies to deeds based on consideration or value.
