Virginia Trust - Non Resident Trustee Requirements

[Christopher Smith]

I may be named a trustee for a Virginia trust that will have among other things real estate within it. Virginia has certain trustee requirements that a Non resident (out of state) trustee must satisfy, that a Virginia resident trustee does not.

Does anyone have any practical experience with these additional requirements (designation of agent, posting of bond, etc.)?

@Patti Robertson the Virginia resident agent is required for me because I will be a nonresident trustee, it's not for the trust.

It's apparently required by the local court that has jurisdiction even though the trust itself isn't directly subject to court supervision.
