2011 Code of Virginia
Title 37.2 BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES.
Chapter 10 Guardianship and Conservatorship (37.2-1000 thru 37.2-1030)
37.2-1008 Fees and costs
37.2-1008. Fees and costs.
The petitioner shall pay the filing fee, as provided in subdivision A 43 of 17.1-275, and costs. Service fees and court costs may be waived by the court if it is alleged under oath that the estate of the respondent is unavailable or insufficient. If a guardian or conservator is appointed and the estate of the incapacitated person is available and sufficient therefor, the court shall order that the petitioner be reimbursed from the estate for all costs and fees. If a guardian or conservator is not appointed and the court nonetheless finds that the petition is brought in good faith and for the benefit of the respondent, the court may direct the respondent's estate, if available and sufficient, to reimburse the petitioner for all costs and fees.
In any proceeding filed pursuant to this article, if the adult subject of the petition is determined to be indigent, any fees and costs of the proceeding that are fixed by the court or taxed as costs shall be borne by the Commonwealth.
